They measure me … and I them
my friends … my lovers
we all measure each other
by our capacities and understandings
and, in the relief between us,
we see ourselves

So it can be anything I want it to be
I wonder if I can chase away my memories
of being loved

Someplace over the edge of this day
waits someone to love me once again
I can wait … I have no choice

And in the mean time my memories can talk to me
and remind me that life without love
is less and less

I used to think that I kept my mind silent
like the Buddhists say…

Until I realized its always so
when I listen.
