It used to be my favorite set of cartoons

Magila gorilla for sale and it’s bliss

Now it’s a cycle, throwing myself into things, away from you but when I look up we’re back to this

I love you intensely

You love me immensely

But we reside in different volumes of the same anthology

Time multiplied by distance equals what seems too far

But I feel you as if we were the same person

Won’t you call my name the way you do?

Tell me you love me

I know you love me

I want you to love me

How come you don’t love me?

Wait...

I know you love me

Just remind me you love me

I need you to love me

I’m missing you

Missing here without you

I mean I’m still me but where are you?

There is a piece that I found

I sought you out and discovered and cherished you

I began to hoard you

I smothered you

I needed you

I was lost and then I lost you

And now as I swing back to myself I’m hoping that you’re not busy watching Eddie Murphy, I’m praying you’ll sway back around to me

To see that I’ve grown

I’ve learned to love with open arms and not a clenched grip

I’ve learned to let the love leap from my sleeve, and rebound from my lips

So one more time, can I layup under you?

Wrap my arm around you

Come here?

... come here...
