Under the Boston Sky

Under the Boston sky
I find myself with you again.
How I love you.
How I need you.
How I want you
under the Boston sky.
How Maryland's looking nice
but doesn't quite remind me
of how the blue of the Charles River
can't compare to the brown of your stare
of why the falling leaves of ever-changing patterns
sing to me of the nature of your pure and constant soul
And the stars that smile upon my lonely body
are envious of your caresses
as I hear them weeping with me
under the Boston sky.
How you made me 80 degree Californian hell
a New England winter breeze
and why the Devil walks with me daily
by the side of the beach
in this paradise
under the Boston sky.
And every T-stop mocks me
screaming "look how far away you are."
And I tighten my jacket to emulate your arms
to remind me of how I want you
how I find myself with you
as I wander alone
under the Boston sky.
