HALFWAY THERE

Why did you have to come into my mind?
I was minding my own business,
I was giong to Hawaii
to attend the wedding of a friend
and to meet another for the first time.

I hadn't expected to miss you.
I hadn't expected to think of you.
I had expected to have a smooth trip.
Instead of another trip where I missed Katie.

What made me think of you?
Looking out at those clouds
and that other plane,
and those mountains down below.


I had been thinking of Bianca the whole time.
I had forgotten you had ever lived in Hawaii.
But then,
I guess that was before I got closer.
