Someone Somewhere Maybe: Poems

by Sophie Diener

You are like a heart with feet and hands and legs and arms. Always feeling things so deeply must be hard.

things do not have to last forever to have been meant to be.

I also hope you don’t forget that life is not about to begin; it’s happening. Right now, it is happening. And there is gold here in the waiting.

Maybe the worst mistake I ever could have made was never even trying because I was too afraid.

I have not met every inch of the person I’ve been or the person I am or the person I’ll be.

but in my mind for a split second you’ll still drive every little black car I see. And when that song comes on the radio, you’ll be right there in my passenger seat. You’ll stay smiling in the pictures
