Water

 I wore my hair down today

because you told me to

in my dream

I touched you, given the chance

Just your arm, a long hug

You told me your mom knew I’d been coming by her house, watering her plants, leaving small puddles

I apologized

Undecided if I would stop

You said you wanted to be a mother and I supported that

You said one was on the way but not in your body because what you had done to it

I wish I could call you and tell you these things, and other things too

I am doing alright on my own and have other people to look after me and that I care for

No one is like you

And that is why I am in your house each night

Dreaming of your mother and watering the plants
