just you

Janet Kuypers
4/7/15

when I met you
I knew there was something about you

I didn’t know
what it was, but I had to find you to find out

look in the bowels
of the Chicago train stations to see your face

stand on my toes,
stretch tall, look for you in a crowded hall

do a double-take
when a motorcyclist or bicyclist speeds by

If you have to,
wear a mask, swim to the sharks in the Pacific

climb the Alps,
stand on a glacier, traverse the Great Wall

keep looking —
there has to be something about you

I had no choice
I had to find you

but I realized
that it wasn’t something about you at all

I couldn’t describe
what it was about you that made me need you

because it wasn’t something about you at all
it was just you
