What If I Never Meet Another Soul

What if I never meet another soul

that knows I can recite every line of Parent Trap?

What if I never meet another soul

that knows I always get steak at Chipotle?

What if I never meet another soul

that knows how upset I get about my name?

What if I never meet another soul

that wants to know the name of my car?

What if I never meet another soul

that knows what I’m saying with my eyes?

What if I never meet another soul

that knows what I’m not saying behind deep sighs?

What if I never meet another soul

that knows about the bad habits I kicked?

What if I never meet another soul

that knows the stories behind all my scars?

What if I never meet another soul

that even wants to try to know

what you already do?

Check and a Mate?

At least in chess there is a time limit

on how long you have to make a move.

I fully understand every decision

leads to a different result and ending

and I have no intentions of rushing

your strategy or our little game.

But I can’t begin to figure out

what I should do next

until you make up your mind first.

Don’t let the clock time out.

Nights Like These

It’s nights like these

when I can’t sleep

because I can’t stop

thinking about you

that I wonder if it

happens to you?

Do you lie awake

on nights like these

thinking of

every time that I

made you smile?

Do recall every time

I made you laugh?

Do you wonder if

I’m dreaming of you?

Are you, like me,

spending nights like these

tossing and turning

in a lonely bed

trying to remember

the comfort of

laying next to each other?

On nights like these,

you’re all I think about

and I can’t help but hope

that somewhere out there,

you’re thinking of me too.

Tides

You are the moon

and I am the ocean.

Even though

the distance is long,

I can still feel you

pulling me towards you

and just as quickly

pushing me away;

a continuous cycle

forever changing the world,

but yet we are predictable-

steadfast.
