me like

me like
the morning
with nothing
to do

me like
you

me like
someone to wait for
at the end of the day
some one who'll come home
and stay

me like some one who likes to be liked
who knows what it's like to be forlorned & heart broken
who won't let that be a reason to distrust
who uses that to see the pains in us
and who when push comes to shove
at the edge of a cliff
still wouldn't let go,
but accepts
the fall
there'll be others who have fallen to cushion and catch
i'll catch

me like
morning & night
afternnoon & day break
dawn & evening
summer fall winter & spring
you and all those you love
the earth below and sky above
me
like me
like
do
you like
you?
