The Richness Between Us

If I could without forcing you to think of me I would let you know that Im thinking of you

I know as well as you
we arent what we might have been
and we havent been long enough to breathe easily

in ways we are more I think
and it seems you know the same
its an indication of the richness between us

whatever might have been actual
things that we would otherwise name
have spread ivies through a shared corridor

the foundations of connection
are built instead with an organic thing
it flowers fills and forms the richness between us

If I knew you needed to hear it today I would let you know that Im thinking of you

Ive dreamt of and imagine still
what could have been and still could be
Id keep it to myself but Im sure youve seen me see it

yet we do not need what is not
and contentedness with what we arent
remains a testament to the richness between us

the distance and time that divide
might appear from without as separation
but reunion belies what would have been lost

we toast friendship with wine in veins
that may yet be grafted into the same vine
a prayer that adds to the bittersweet richness between us

As often as it helps to remember you ought to remember that Im thinking of you
