Seen Words

So subtle 

Love 

But not enough

I see you

Hiding behind those words

That I 

Am meant to read

As soft and sweet

But please

Believe

I see between

Those lines love

I do believe your mind love

is riddled with my memories

is barely breaking past

the ever loud

complexities 

of the life we had 

and it's just so bad

that ache for

that taste for

that ever present

wait for

the return to this 

ellipses do little for disguise 

our focal points 

will never not meet

in your eyes 

am I right

or do I cite the wrong sources

I mean

life is what it is 

not even distance can force this 

life takes its courses

that we can't interfere with

but do hear this

I hear you 

loud and clear 

and its sweet 

but we'll keep

to our respective sides

of the street 

and be 

the new we 

on new boats 

on new seas

and secrets in bottles

tucked into sentences 

are the new subliminal messages

and that is all fine and well

and well, while there is 

a piece of my heart 

that will always be touched

by such tributes

I think you, such as I

have certainly moved on

and past 

the last few years

but I know... 

who doesn't love to test waters

whenever, for whatever

reasons 

cause to be in 

love 

is a force that lingers long

in the depths of man 

so subtle sometimes 

even he can't see it

I understand 

but we can and should 

go back behind the lines

it's time
