My Love For You

Do you feel it too?

By LilJohn SuttonPublished 4 years ago • 1 min read

Your voice manages to still speak to me

How many miles is too far?

I am tired of running

Each night I lay in your lap

Breathing your presence

Eyes closed I kiss your words

Pillow locked in arm memory shape of you

Having been apart for sometime

My mind excitedly cuts circles in the front lawn

As a dogged heart yelps at the end of it’s leash

Each day tracking for the path leading home

Engulfed within heat of a distant star

Our love sleeps in the bright warm sun spot

Patiently

Connection is a kinetic resurrection of a soul’s reflection. The abolishing of separateness transfigures divided perception.

I had to meet with psychiatrist they said. My appointment was at two pm. Okay, so I should go grocery before but my appointment is at two though. I don’t want to be late. So I should go after…? Right? Or will the store be closed by then? Or I could go tomorrow and order in today. Yeah, I will order in food that’s safe, I don’t need to leave my house. It’ll get done then. So then all I did was wait. It’s like being in a waiting room in your own house. I checked to make sure zoom was working so I can have this appointment. The appointment started and the psychiatrist looked at me and said “it sounds like you might have ADHD” and she noted something down. Wait. What? Then something started to make sense. Is that why I spent most of my days in the classroom daydreaming? Yes. Is that why I had to click my pen at work? Yes. Is that why I am consistently interrupting others? Probably. Do I overshare at work? 100% is that why I can never enter a grocery store and just get what I need? Yes. Literally, today I walked into Walmart “All I need is a stapler” I told myself before I walked in. All I need is a stapler okay? Oh what’s that the make-up aisle. I wonder if they have E.l.f. Oooo yes and it’s on sale score! Right. Stapler, new Nicholas Spark book? I’ll take that! That reminds me I need a library card. Wait. Stapler. I found the stapler and then I looked over the clothing aisle. I did lose that shirt, just a white tank top. Yes, okay I need to leave. And like that I spent 38$ ouch. The stapler cost me 5$.
