Meanings

I’ve been meaning to untangle the electrical cords
I’ve been meaning to take off my make up at night
I’ve been meaning to throw out the old bank receipts in my wallet
I’ve been meaning to try and exercise more
I’ve been meaning to pick the lint balls off my favourite jumper
I’ve been meaning to shave my milky white legs
I’ve been meaning to write back to your emails
I’ve been meaning to tell you that I love you
I’ve been to say what I actually think without thinking its wrong
I’ve been meaning to be myself
What I mean is that…
I mean well
And
I’ve been meaning to make my life less meaningless

    So true, Katie. Time slips by, and so do the details. Take it one thing at a time.

    But there’s always something else that needs doing as well though hehe.

    Nice poem too; sometimes the important things get lost in amongst the day-to-day routine.

    Katie…omg the story of my life!
    Thanks for putting it into words. Which reminds me…I must get to my to-do list. Where is my favorite jumper? Who put the tissue in the wash!
