Thinking About You

you greeted me this morning
and i’ve been thinking about you since then
and the fact that what i’ve loved
about you the most are the things
i do not afford myself
like lightness of being
and a childish kind of fun

i’ve been thinking about you since then
and the fact that what i’ve loved
about you the most
are our differences, vast as the horizon
uncompromisable -
like you,
and me,
and the stars
and i’ve been thinking about you
since then… all the while,
i’ve been thinking about you
and the truth that you will never be mine
