The Notebook

Plywood, letters, phone calls, baseball cap
Red wedding, road trips, hopes up
Nikon, excuses, fireworks, big talk
Parking lot, cemetery

Workaholics, quitters

I love beards
I don't talk big
I put a letter on your car
You saved it

Dim or dark
Never bright
Brilliant
Brainiacs, us

Too busy, always
the excuse

Leave room for Jesus

It is always an answer to hear your voice
We are of the same mind
The journey.
The ghosts.

Whiteboard, cursive, useless flirtations
nothing is too much
nothing out of bounds
that's why we walk to gether, apart

always distant
always dim
hopeless romantic
sinkng feeling
on delayed repeat

voice of reason
voice of opinion
voice of change
silly, stupid voice
doesn't want to say anything wrong

and never does

everything is kind of a joke
your profundity surprises me
and you

your anarchy ignites mine
and blinds me to what is right

My respect for you falls.
It rises.

I am glad for my moment of desperation.
I blamed it on a mood swing.
You told me I was swinging up
And that you were glad too.

Always forgiven
"Lifelong friends"
agreed long ago
I didn't realize then
how serious the pact.
