Week 33: Imagine

for Katie

The bittersweetness of
watching her hang the pictures that
are meant to be yours,
of watching her closet fill with things
you wouldn’t like,
makes me wonder how much
different
it’ll be here, without you.

Here is not the here
I had imagined but I know that I’m 
the lucky one,
so in love with this place
I call home
through every obstacle
it may throw my way.

Though the walls we’d almost shared
are filled with a stranger’s life,
there are walls not far away
waiting to be made yours,
waiting for you like everyone here
who loves you.

As my own new life is truly beginning,
the bittersweet realization
that yours has been set back
leaves my heart aching,
wishing you were here
to fall in love
by my side.

    What is the 52?

    The 52 project is simple: for an entire year, I'll write one poem a week. I will continue and complete this project through 2014.
