Sometimes you’re looking out a window
in a coffee shop
in a city you’re supposed to be in today.
And sometimes you hear a song on the radio
that you’ve been avoiding
like the feelings in your chest when their name comes up
in your mind
in your phone
in your camera roll where you shouldn’t be meandering
that far back.
and sometimes
you wonder if it’s ok to miss someone you never saw in a coat,
and maybe never will unless
you change where you are or
where you’ll be.
Sometimes you wonder how much you control.
And what you can confront
outside of the love that held you up so high
and let you down.
and sometimes you wonder if love
can re-bloom
when winter is over.
Or if all flower petals fall
and never grow back
