ode you

by derek garner - Virgo

i sit solitarily.
i sit to remember upon
a time, you.
you're in here somewhere.
i just have to want you
to be in my mind.
i have to think hard.
i hope i haven't forgotten.
ok,here i go..........

there was a dance that night
in the fall of '91
we met there,
once upon a time.
i introduced you to my roomate,
and you introduced me to yours,
you are tall.
i can't believe he kissed you first.
i can't belive i watched.
it was then i knew i had
to impress you with love,
you seemed to have misplaced it.
i have a detector,
let's comb the beach for it together.
once upon a time.......

those nights we spent studying,
i must admit my mind had
taken a left turn,
the way you lay across the bed 
in my dorm room.
easy boy!
and gazed into me,
looking for answers.
we both had questions,
needs,
were you ready to accept me
inside you.
it has been a year,
and i've dreamt of this
in 364 days of them.
the last day i spent with you.
no sex,
just you.
once upon a time.......

you finish the story.
