not yet unfolding

Are you coming? Are you

staying?

Do you know what you want?

Not yet.

Everybody asks in future tense Where you going,

what comes next I keep answers in my jacket Lose them somewhere

on the steps Phone lights up,

another question Another door I should have met Maybe I could choose

forever

Just not yet

Give me one

more

night Without a name for it

One more wrong

turn I don't have to fix

Not yet Don't make me decide

Not yet

I'm still changing my mind Leave the light on Leave a little

space

I might get there Just not today

Not yet

Not yet

Not— Not— Not yet

Someone bought a house in April

Someone disappeared in June

Someone says they've found the answer I still sleep past afternoon I

have loved things I outgrew

I have left before I knew

Maybe that's a kind of knowing

Maybe not

Give me one more night Before it has to mean something One

unfinished line

I don't have to complete

If I say yes too early Will I have to stay?

If I say no too quickly What do I throw away?

So ask me again

When the morning feels different

Ask me again

Not yet

But I'm closer this time

Not yet

And that's still an answer of mine Don't close the door Don't

circle the date

I might get there I might be late

Not yet

Not yet

Are you ready? ...

Not yet.
