I. I write poems about
what our life could have 
been like if you would
have stayed with me
like you promised
that you were going to.

II. I picture us together
exploring foreign lands,
and finding ourselves
while we are trying to
find a place that we
can call home.

III. I can imagine you
searching for parts
on my body that you
have yet to discover.
Territories that you have
always longed to name.

IV. I create these situations
in my mind with hopes
that even though you are
no longer here, that maybe
you are out there writing
about the same thing.
