The Last Night I Spent With an Unknown Poet

Dear Unknown Poet, I’ve been looking for you for years. I always seem to be in the wrong place. I know that you’re here — somewhere. I hear your voice every night — I’ve come too far in my life to turn back now. When we were younger and thought everything would work out, it never felt like anything was supposed to happen. It didn’t have the weight of reality on it or whatever people are supposed to feel when they finally get together after all these years of searching their hearts and minds and hearts into the hands of each other again. Only to realize they’re not holding onto anything but each other’s lifelines. So it is nothing more than a short piece of words as a reminder that something stays in touch.

Dear Unknown Poet, You were my twin. But I never knew you.

That’s what happens when everyone looks for the same thing, but it’s always found in separate places. It always seems like a dream — a mere illusion that keeps someone up at night only to make them feel as if they’re just dreaming away the day when they wake up in reality. Where it all seems to have been nothing more than an overactive imagination and some broken dreams deep down inside their hearts.

It’s funny — we never know what we get until we lose it. We never know when it’s going to happen, but when it does, it seems like a dream at first, and then all of a sudden, you’re sitting in a chair or lying in bed or driving down the road, and the car just stops dead in your tracks.

Every moment spent with an Unknown Poet is as if you were waiting for something to happen that wasn’t going to.
