Comparing Apples to Athletes
I’m pretty sure I always will flinch to the sound of closing doors. And shiver to the touch of anybody I didn’t see behind me. Or even cower below someone’s mixed tone of voice. I am weak, I call it. But in reality, I am cautious. I check the backseat, the lock on the door, and my pockets 17 different times when I go to leave the house. It’s not OCD it’s anxiety. No, It’s my awareness. I look in every mirror when I leave the house to make sure I’m presentable to each and every one. Like judges on a runaway I ask permission to advance and some days they tell me “You made it'' and others it’s a brisk “Not today”. It’s not insecurity I swear, I am just prepared. Some days I leave the bed only to eat and tire myself out enough to get right back into it. People call it lazy days but I call it depression. But again it’s not, I am resting my body.

Love
Love comes so easily to me. I see it everywhere. I find it in the littlest things. I see the keys depress on a piano and I fall. I hear guitar strings vibrate and I’m lost. I listen to rain and I think of you. I don’t know how to express what I have for you. Your green eyes are a mystery. I’ve so clearly been able to see people through eyes but I see your eyes and I lose focus. I lose sense of everything. I picture forests I can get lost in and a wilderness I long for. I picture the light at the end of the tunnel. Nobody ever says what color the light is. I believe it’s green. I believe it’s a forest. A wilderness all to myself. Your joy spreads. Like wildfire. And I’m burning. The way you speak is so alluring. You have so much to say and it always takes you minutes to speak single sentences but I look in your eyes and see a cluttered mind picking together the pieces and I wait. I patiently wait. I listen as you seemingly discover words for the first time. I wait for you to finish thoughts you never knew you had.
