We weren't lovers, just friends who had
apartments inside of each other,
and you could come over any time
to inspect it. Do the same by you
and just make sure we respected that
a closed jamb draws a line.
To be present.
To be noticed.
To be heard from.
To be asked to be heard from more.
To just know that
you were always waited for.
I can't say it, or, to be more specific,
I just can't articulate it –
I can just embody the meaning.
I'm a sentence. You're a
clause of some kind but
you were never dependent
on the reading.
To be present.
To be noticed.
To be heard from.
To be asked to be heard from more.
To just know that
you were always waited for.
To be held close.
To be awkward.
To be conscious
of how you lean into the door.
To be speaking.
To learn how to be spoken for.
To be honest
I am learning to wait some more
just to tell you: you were always
waited for – always waited,
always waiting for.
