And Somewhere, You Knew: Poems from the place in me that's always been yours in Bloomington, MN

And Somewhere, You Knew
There are some stories you don't write-
you live them, you lose them,
and if you're lucky,
you find a way to leave them behind
between the lines.
In her quietest moments, Mira wrote for one person.
Not because he asked her to.
Because he never did.
And somewhere, he knew.
This is not their full story.
Not yet.
But these pages hold pieces-
of a girl who asked the universe for him,
of a boy who became every metaphor,
and of the silence that once spoke louder than love.
The novel comes later.
But for now,
this is how she remembers him.
