i wake up
past midnight
wondering
recalling
a dream
from some years ago
the face
of a woman
clearly
speaking these words
you are not ready for me -
over and over
she was
i assumed
my future
lover
partner
and wife
as much as
it was surprising
ever more
reassuring
wondering
as years
have passed
if i have seen or
spoken to her
maybe
in the check out line
at the grocery store
wondering
can i love again
can i
could i
my door
has been closed
awhile
but my windows open
a breeze
sometimes a gale
changes my mind
why ?
all seems fine
fail
fear
words i've known-
i have loved
won lost
and show
one or many
haven't kept score
doesn't matter
missing
our song
that loving feeling
ready to start
no ...but
it's in my heart
lay awake
stirring
wondering
can i
will i
love again
yes ...
just not ready for her
