Dear Little Jersey
The days grow short
Time expands
Flashforward
Eyes closed
Still sunlight
I hear you laugh
Your grin
When it’s alright
The sad half smile
Only your back recognizes
The secrets I struggle to hold
The ones you half show
But I’ll wait
Because I learned
Only yesterday
Friends end fast
So I’ll stand
Right behind you
Until if ever you decide to turn around
Hands in my pockets
Eyes trained on your back
And if ever
Never comes
Then I’ll stand
Right behind you
Hands in my pockets
Eyes always
On your back
