Do Me a Favor

Do me a favor and make sure he's good to you.

Make sure he's everything I wasn't, but in a good way,

ya know? Try not to break his heart either.

No one deserves that. And hey, if the universe

says it's your turn to share the heartbreak,

then hey, it is what it is.

Do me a favor and at least have the courtesy

to give him that date that I never got,

the one where you get dolled up

and I wear my fancy shoes,

you drive and I pay,

and we hit the town without a care

for where the road takes us.

Go give him that date.

You're you and I'm me.

I'm just not a part of you anymore, and I've accepted that.

Your choices are yours and yours alone.

Just do me a favor and go be happy.

I still love you, and I always will.

I'm proud of you.

Love,

Kev

Trees

I close my eyes against the sun

Then barely open them.

A new view comes before me.

Is it reality?

The trees are bare;

Barren limbs against the sky.

Are they reaching for Heaven?

What are they doing?

What are they telling me?

Is this an epiphany

Or a transitory vision

Of trees against the sky?

Bare limbs,

Barren branches.

I close my eyes against the sun.
