She knows
the length of a day
even when she’s busy
distracted or otherwise
she lives how it feels
that deliberate distance
she can manipulate. 
She goes
just to the edge
where others feel
her presence missed
no voice or communication
she thinks it’s cute
making others 
miss her so. 
I’m here to tell you
this last time
might have been
just maybe
too far away. 
The price to pay
tomorrow or yesterday
you can’t always get back
small or giant steps
all of us take
eventually moving forward
and some may say
you’re crazy
for leaving that girl
all perfect and pretty. 
Until I remind myself
the void in time
isn’t such a bad thing
there is newness
that’s so much better
smothering minutes
crawl over hours
the progress I’ve made
in this new frontier. 
This girl
is just as confident
with her charming looks
curved and perfectly formed. 
She’s my garden
I get to set my eyes on
each morning. 
Promise me love
not to drift
too far.
