Changes

I'm wondering
what you'd find
if you came by -
would you be
too surprised?

I wonder if my questions
would bother you
or if you'd have the answers
or if you'd try to answer,
even if you didn't know

I wonder after we talked for awhile,
just a little while
over a cup of coffee
or whatever you'd like,
what would you think
about the things I say?

I wonder if you would be patient
and love me anyway
not for what I used to be
or what you wish that I still was
but for this in-transition me,
the one who doesn't know
who I will be later

And I wonder if you will like
the later me

I want to keep all that we've shared -
you are so important;
if you came by, I would tell you that
and that I cannot stop
what I could not keep from starting.

Come by today
or tomorrow
Come next week
I will still be here
and I will need you
and treasure you
and hope that after our visit
you will come back again
