When and If He Happens

When and if he happens,
he'll see the future
in tarot cards and Irish coffee.
He'll wait at a crowded eclectic place,
unworried that I'm far beyond late.
As I finally arrive, rain in tow,
he'll let all of the non-reasons go.
When and if he happens,
he won't question my quiet nature
or the ever-gestating masterpiece;
the one laden with mistakes.
He won't coerce me to change
or see anything wrong with how
I sometimes like being alone.
When and if he happens,
I'll lean upon his shoulder,
as She drifts away from me
and I hear someone say:
"She wasn't in any pain."
He'll instinctively know
to hold me closer than close. –from A Garden of Storms, 2015
