Have you ever?

have you ever waited for a moment

that would make sense in this

senseless world?

have you ever waited for a day

where you would cut off 

the tags on clothes that still stay?

have you ever looked for places

to stick the stickers you 

saved for a ‘special occasion’?

have you ever saved a song

because it felt too perfect to play

on an ordinary day?

have you ever written a letter

you never meant to send,

just to feel the weight of words

leave your hands?

have you ever held onto a ticket stub

from a train you swore would take you

somewhere you could breathe again?

have you ever kept a key

to a door long forgotten,

just in case you found it someday?
