17: Hello

sometimes almost is better than already/ sometimes almost
is good for you/ sometimes almost loves you more than
always

12: To you, finally.

My entire blog is just a bunch of day 12's collected over time. This is just making it official, I guess. 

7: Engulfed.

Lots of blue in this. :))

6: Goodbye.

I skipped day 5 because who needs that kind of stress. :)) 

I kept writing things that never got to you --
and they piled up behind the gym memberships
and seminar notifications
I complained to put it off,
maybe I would forget altogether.

4: Frank Exchange of Views

You spoke too softly the first time we met

        It was like seeing your cells before seeing your skin

You were so many fragments of so many wholes

        Now I see your all pieces in the way you become and they break me

You pushed my world off the edge of the universe

I didn’t know what I was supposed to do with myself                          

You were so composed, I wondered what would tear you down

                Now I see that was something you could do yourself
