It’s The Way (Clementine Von Radics)

It’s The Way
Every poem is about you.
Even the ones about other people,
they’re for your eyes only.
Everyone else who reads them
is just a stranger
looking through the window at us.
It always comes back to you. It will always
come back to you. It’s the way
I love you through literature.
I gave you a book about journeys
before you left. Do you remember?
And one about home. I filled it with notes,
instructions on how to miss me.
I was afraid you wouldn’t know how,
and you’d give up.
Frustrated.
