You never cared that I was not a size six
you never gave a damn about what all
the rich kids said about you
you never thought you weren’t
good enough or smart enough
you knew you were
you thought I was
which seemed funny to me
but now I realize how much that means
I wish I could send that last
message
I wish I could say I didn’t
act like a cold, shallow bitch
the last time I saw you
I wish I could say I
saw you just a short while ago
I’ve been filling my time
trying to be what some guy wanted
( and the funny thing is,
he’s gone now )
and I think that to you
I was already somebody’s dream
and now I guess that’s the only place
I’ll be seeing you for awhile
I keep picturing you in wings
though I know you were more at home in your trenchcoat and those
jeans with the knees nearly
gone.
You’re a skinny angel, I bet
brown and smiling –
smirking down sometimes
when the giggling girls
do something stupid in the
computer lab or you hear me
swearing at this Compaq
( I remember the look on your face
when I said that! )
I wish I’d gotten to tell you
that I’m crossing over
going into business and computer
science – be proud, wouldn’t you?
And I’m going to bite my
tongue and read
those books – Jordan and maybe
( did you read that one I
left with you? I never got
into Vonnegut much…. )
Schindler’s list, but I won’t be watching
*that* movie again
(laugh)
this was a poem but
it’s becoming a letter fast
I wish I’d kept you
closer to me
I wish I’d not been
so afraid of losing
that relationship which I
lost anyway
that I lost touch with you
who would not have hurt
me, I know you better
I remember the blue
lights and you asked
if you should keep
your pants on
( I’m smiling and trying not to
blush )
You are so sweet.
We love you, James. I wish I could have been there more than I was & that I could have told you what you really meant to me. I know this poem is too late, but I hope you like it.
