YOUNG LOVE

Seems I�ve been in love
with something forever,
an empty space I tried
to fill with myself.

It is the way it is
for some of us groping
in the dark, holding-tight
to what feels good.

There are still a few
faces and names
that visit from the blue,
but most are blurred

with what I forgot to say �
with what I thought
was free at the time
I was growing up.
