i like them both (and other observations)

rewriting history

I want to take you to every place I've ever been to.
Somehow meld your existence into the memory
and relive it all again with you.

Sit with you on every bench I ever sat alone
Talk to you about the thoughts I had then
Show you my old schools to make up for the lonely hallways
Hold hands with you while we walk the streets I used to wander
Steam up the car in the park & ride by the freeway
Take you to the mountains for a cloudy sunset
Hold you while we wait in line for tea and scone

I want to do everything romantic I never did
in the same places my loneliness hid.

I'm excited to teach you,
to give every part of my past as your present
and have your present become one with my past.
