You are my Girlfriend

You are my girlfriend In the space I won't forget you In my old diary, I find your writing At the top of pages between Derrida's concepts, in Plato's cave Like a child who has doodled his notebook Your phone number is in the block list Like a prisoner waiting for his parole I was at the university yesterday I smelled the flowers, I saw the trees, the path towards the English department, the view of the city from the mountain Where were these natural things when I was with you? I think I was lost in your smile, in your tresses, waiting for you outside the cafeteria Living is easy now Who is in space All you need is longing, the memory of beloved, and the will to live You are my girlfriend Don't forget me
