Sunday Afternoon in Wichita Falls, Texas

after you broke my heart and I wounded
your ego over steak and baked potatoes
we walked outside and you walked me
to my truck for the very last time and you
said,"I don't know if I should hug you or
just walk away" and I said,"do whatever you
want to do" and you said,"I want to hug you"
and you wrapped your arms around me and held me
and told me it felt good and I agreed and you
were confused because suddenly you felt something
for me again and you said maybe it was because
you felt so comfortable with me or maybe you
were just horny and I said,"No, that can't be it. You
can't be horny on a Sunday afternoon in Wichita
Falls, Texas" and you laughed softly and I took off
my sunglasses and then it happened we shared a
magical full circle kiss like a snake eating its
tail we were back to the beginning beautiful
yummy tantalizing square one everything erased
and made pure and whole our souls connected
again you were my sweet prince and I was your
girl for sure but you weren't satisfied with
all of that because you analyze life to death
it wasn't algebra, darling
just chemistry synastry passion LOVE
but that's my opinion which doesn't count
not on fingers not on toes not on a calculator
I know my feelings I know the deep
senseless language of my heart
and I'm beyond trying to figure it out
and make it behave but when the kiss ended
and we were talking about books
I knew the distance between us was the real
thing and I'm sure that's what you thought
of on your drive home but I'm hoping
someday when you're with a woman who
doesn't love you as truly as I did
and can't give the love I gave you'll
remember your shy, awkward lover in all her
imperfection and recall the way I brushed
away your errant right eyebrow hair
that day
for old time's
sake.
