we used to rendevous 3-4 times a week
and now being 600 miles away, i’m lucky
if i get to be with you that many times a year
remember when i was a kid riding my
yellow ross with black sparkled banana
seat on your forest roads and trails
remember when i got my driver’s license
and was able to bike, hike, swim, camp
with you more and more and more
remember when i worked from home
and was able to come see you almost
any day of the week at any time
i miss those days, the way you
greeted me on chilly tuesday mornings
when no one else was around
i miss how some days you were sweet
and soft and how on other days you
were mean, tough and stubborn
i miss the feeling of contentedness i’d
feel after several hours with you, no
matter how you treated me that day
right now, i’m taking refuge in knowing
i’ll be with you in may and june for
long weekends of mountain biking love
