ANTICIPATION

I think I don't recognize you anymore,

Or it's just a reflection of my being lost in you, and you are everywhere like the ocean,

I'm completely at your mercy and cannot escape.

There's too much of you, my dear, I see you in the eyes of the people going by,

There's too much of you in the sun and the rivers and angry bellies of volcanoes.

Wherever I go I feel you, you are there,

But I can't see you.

Why can't I?

I think I don't recognize you anymore,

And I am wondering, was I ever able.

I am wondering did I ever know you?

Have you ever been mine or I yours?

If you come again, I will know.

For now, I am waiting.
