remy on my mind

she is crying again
and then

NOT.

she is such a
'schedule girl' i tell
people
and as soon as i do,

she is no longer.

she has not really
taken a full nap all day.

making me out to be a liar.

reminding me that i do
NOT have
her figured out.

and i wonder if i ever will.
the wonder is what excites
me.

so small and yet SO much
wisdom in her
emotion filled
sneaky willed
eyes.

the squinted smile
severs my heart and
her humongo hug
sews it back up
once more...falling in love
all over again.

she is so full of love and
life and the yearning for
learning

makes me thirst too.

for more of her
and her big brother,
JUST LIKE THIS.

for these days are
fast;
with every breath,
IN OUR PAST.

i love her more than
i ever thought possible.

she teaches me a whole
new way to love.

from a close distance.

her own being
she has always been

and me, well, i simply
have the pleasure
of knowing

NOT OWNING.
