--THAT WAS WHEN MY REFLECTION USED TO TALK TO ME A LOT

I Meant To Tell You That

I wanted to be here with you

When the moon split open

Gooey and full of gold bullion

When your hands shook

Like confused termites

And air tasted like the first air

Ever shared by two lovers

I wanted to be here with you

As the mountains played hopscotch

And you knew for certain it wasn’t a hoax

But perhaps a herd of dinosaurs

Returning for an encore on earth

I wanted to be here with you

To watch your milky eyes

Search for mine or a cantering

Ladybug on the window sill with

Her one slightly twisted wing

I wanted to be here with you when you said

Remember that time it rained water buffaloes

Remember how impatient the solar eclipse was

That day we were busy necking through the phone

Remember how the rainbow tossed off

All those candy canes that melted

On our lips like morning sunshine

I wanted

I wanted to

I wanted to be

I wanted to be here

With you

I meant to tell you that
