FALLING BACK INTO PLACE

I pace
through my apartment,
step by step-
watching my feet fall;
in tune with the love songs
that I just keep on playing.

* * *

Somehow,
I'm falling back into place,
and slowly, I'm becoming myself again.

My crushes are developing crushes
back on me, and the girls who had stopped liking me,
are starting to like me again.

But still, my heart is soft,

and Katie is 3000 miles away,-
And she,
is the one,
whom I want liking me.

But at least, for now,
she'll be happy-
because I know that she's going to a place,
where she wants to be.

So somehow, in some way,
I'm falling back into place.
