When there;s nothing to say

when there's nothing to say...

say nothing

..

or say, "I love you?"

...

or say, "What's good in your life?
.. 

or say, "I don't know what to say, but I like you."

...

say, the truth, as you feel it,

in that moment

and then listen,

just as happy to get nothing,

as you were to speak

for 

it

or speak from 

it

and it here isn't fancy,

it's just emptiness coming out to do the

next

thing

not even the next right 

thing,

just the next

felt thing

as we go

along

living and becoming more

and

more

or who 

we always were

before the

extra got caked on

by others

and

our own suckered into it

choosing

Good

say the next thing

say nothing

the world will keep spinning

your life will still be rich and full of meaning

you will still be present

or not

and one is free

and one isn't

and that's okay,

too

for love of love

how to have a great relationship:

look at your partner
often
with curiosity
and
wishing
them
to be as happy
and awake
and alive
as possible

watch them
with wonder

wonder
at what they
are saying
and doing

be thrilled:

this is you
on
this Earth
with
a
Friend

good

waiting

waiting can
be a way
to avoid now

someday
i'll be happy
after....

and waiting
can be easy
as
in sitting on a log
beside a sunny path
waiting for whatever
is going to
come along
to come along
