..but just in case you are like me,
just in case you think about the way
your hands used to piano key my spine;
the way you would whisper spells into my ears
when I was napping;
the way I would slip notes into your jacket pocket
–just in case you wondered if all those winks
ever meant anything at all, I will tell you.
you do not need to look very hard to find
your shadow here,
your fingerprints are on these pages,
so many of your footsteps in the snow.

I think, every once in a while, we need to step back and look at situations and realize that we know ourselves better than anyone else. We live with ourselves everyday. We are the ones who have our thoughts. We are the ones who know our intentions. Stop letting people tell you who you are.
