Love Story: Day 2746

Boy sees Girl- 

sees her 
at the park, 
across the street, 
in every one of his 
aching dreams. 
Girl is everywhere. 
She is nowhere. 

Boy reads 
Girl’s words, 
knows they were 
once his own. 
He keeps her picture 
in his pocket, 
writes her name 
on every window
he opens, 
traces her smile 
into sand 
and snow. 

Girl waits.
