"that's no way to say goodbye" (jch -- 1/2/99)
that's no way to say
goodbye
no way to tell me you miss me
and then to leave me
the possibility of us
the future

don't run from possible outcomes
don't shy away from uncertainty
revel in it
life is to be lived
love is to be given
live in the moment
not in the past
nor in the future
not yet

come here

hold me

love me

let me put my arms
around the small of your back

I'm waiting for that day.
