In the pavilion, there are many people
\nAll new faces but without the new smell
\nI want to reach across and grab someone and say hello and know them
\nBut in the end, I know I will just walk past all of you without a whisper<\/p>\n
As I said before, there are always people
\nBut today, I saw someone with a purple purse
\nNow an accessory such as that belongs on the runways in Milan or Rome
\nBut on your godlike shoulder, it looked to be made of crude, lifeless paper<\/p>\n
I wanted to go closer but my shirt wasn\u2019t right
\nThere are many days when an outfit is a letdown
\nI knew that I couldn\u2019t approach your picturesque form without a prominent plan
\nSo I rummaged in my closet, prepared something for the next day, and fantasized<\/p>\n
The next day, I searched the entire cemented pavilion
\nBut you weren\u2019t there, until I saw you buying flowers
\nI began to walk, then trot, and then sprint towards you in anticipation but then I saw him
\nHe crawled up from behind you, held you in his bulging arms, and kissed your rosy cheeks<\/p>\n
That night, my tears gathered on my baby blue shirt and turned it navy
\nI cut up my jet black pants and the loafers, I gave to the homeless man
\nMy visions for our trips, our small family, and our red-brick house all faded away without a hello
\nYou did nothing wrong and if it is meant to be, my eyes will once again be graced by your purse<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
