I wrote this poem in November of 2022.

“it’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now”- Lady A

I hope that when you hear that song, you think of that moment
when you sat across from me in that restaurant
and you saw my inner conflict residing inside of me
And you gave me permission to leave
and then you touched my hand as that song played
our spark was ignited, and it was too late
I knew I wouldn’t be able to leave
I needed to continue our chaotic whatevership

  1. Those chaotic whateverships are most necessary especially today with it being so awkward to strike up conversations with strangers. I always have the feeling that I’m interrupting something so important they’re reading on their phone.
