Contradiction, You

I thought about you tonight

Like I thought about you last night

Like the night before

And even before that.

You are the rule

You are the exception.

The first thought and the last.

I did not summon you

Yet you found me.

When I sought you

Then I did not find you.

You are harmony

You are contradiction.

You are chaos and order

Building and destruction.

You pursued me

And then you didn’t.

You say you’re not able

But your eyes told me love.

You retreat but still linger

Your body, your warmth.

Your mind your prison

My heart your prisoner.

You open then you close

You fear and I bolden.

I step in you step down

I remain you bail out.

You say “See you”

I hear hope.

You say something

You do nothing.

You can’t make up your mind

Yet you’ve made it up.

I don’t know what you mean

Is no decision a decision?

These thoughts beat about me

I count down the days.

They all look like you

They all feel of you

Your presence, your hands

The slight curve of your lips

Your secret eyes

With the sea within, beyond.
