past tense

i was game
for all of it

we had nothing
but time

willingness was
never
work

constancy was never
an issue
but there was will
there was hope

just a new
greatness
looming

speech was our
biggest barrier

idle tongues
lazy whims

breeze stirred
emotion on a
different current
each breath
each day

and to
express it
with words is
inadequate
sure

but the
secret pieces in haystack
lines
i couldn't assess
their numbers
like
a savant

she
wouldn't
speak

her eyes would roll

she didn't suffer fools
so i admired her
more

i hadn't lived
up
to whatever fantasy
i had inspired

but she wouldn't
say that
