it’s easy you know, this living without you
it’s breezy you know, this life stuff without you
i drink my green tea and i eat my dark chocolate
i watch Woody Allen movies til 2 in the morning
I wake up alone and don’t think about you.
you might think i’m sad, you may think i’m lonely but our 4am chats go on the same without your voice to respond to. you may think i miss you when i’m drinking my coffee- but your gazing strange eyes never show up to haunt me. it’s easy you know, this day stuff without you, my hand without yours—is perfectly happy. it’s breezy you know, this living without half my heart….
i’m following my dreams, i’m making an impact, i’m worse—-yet better than ever- this missing hellish-still loving-you—-can’t believe you’re gone this easy breezy perfect pretty life without you—greeen tea in my hand i want to scream hoping you can hear me and come mess up my life again, come back and complicate me, re-chain me so this isn’t so easy, these steps aren’t so breezy, so i don’t smile so easily—because i never thought i’d be able to live so breezily—- without you.

We get scared to lose people; feeling sure it will hurt or throw us off balance in some irreparable way. That is one kind of scary. But losing them, and realizing that we are fine, but that we no longer have our rock-cavern of crazyness to poke at and pull words out of…well…that’s another kind.

I think Coco should write an essay about Woody Allen movies and how they reflect values and relationships. Have you seen MIDNIGHT IN PARIS? What a great show. And that reminds me…. Coco could also write about the wonderful music that Woody has put into his movies. In fact, that could be someone’s PhD paper.
