| You Know What I’m Talking About (2016 grateful edition)
Janet Kuypers 11/12/16 (based on a poem started 12/27/98 and converted to prose 09/28/05) I have thought about you lately. I know it has been years since we have talked and I know you probably hate me and maybe you want something different in life, but maybe, just for a minute, I would be a nice diversion for you. Maybe I could tell you that I have gone through a lot too, and maybe we could find consolation in each other. Because I remember those days, you were my beacon, you were my light at the end of a tunnel, and I will always be grateful to you for this. Friends would see your photo from my wallet and call you Superman. A two inch by three inch photo of you, holding a newspaper in front of your grandparent’s house in the Florida sun. Superman. Because maybe, after all this time, you would like to be the kind of man you could never be around me before. Maybe you would talk to me and say things that you couldn’t tell anyone. (Well, at least not in open places.) Maybe you know what I’m talking about — I’ve always been grateful for the hope you gave me, when you made me feel like I was worth something. And I’m grateful for that. I will always thank you. Because, my point is, I’ve been looking for things and maybe, just maybe you are looking for things too. Maybe I could be that for you. Maybe you could be that for me too. |
