just a simple conversation

i know it was you that i saw,
out of the corner of this
clouded eye.
i know it was you that i saw
while i was sitting beneath that tree.
i wrote a few words for you,
would you like to hear?
i know you won't anyway.

but that's alright.
i'm quite alright.

it was you that i spent
so many minutes pondering upon.
i wish you would know that.
minutes spent, but not wasted
because i have no regrets.

often, i sit by a tree
in a park
miles and miles and miles from here.
it's oh so quiet.
and often my thoughts wander
to the stars and back,
and occasionally stumble to you,
and how nobody is above beauty,
or pain.
especially you.
i wish you would know that.

i had a few words for you,
but i don't know what to do with them.
i heard a sound
beneath this tree,
and i thought it was you,
but your words were blown away
by the breeze that broke these leaves away.

i was crushed under the weight of fallen leaves.
i was crushed under the sound of your voice.
i can't get up.
except...
yes i can.

i have a few words for you.

hello, stranger.
how have you been?
i just want you to know
that i'm alright.
