Lunch Poems: ‘Three Airs’ (c. 1958) by Frank O’Hara

(Butterflies), Man Ray, ca 1930

imagine someone listening to a song and thinking of you

dont apologize for speaking or taking up space. dont apologize for disagreeing with someone. dont apologize for having a question or needing help. dont apologize for making it known that you exist.

i didn't believe in love at first sight, and then i saw you

I miss us, I miss our long pointless jokes and coversations, I miss how we used to talk and laugh with each other everyday, I miss everything

i hold onto every single memory, because i know we won’t be making anymore

In order to make a relationship last, you really have to flow with a person as they change. Give them space. My friend always told me about his grandfather who was with his wife for 60 years before she passed. His grandfather said that through all that time, his wife changed so much it felt like he had been with 8 different people by the end. But he said the secret to making it last was that through all those changes, he never suffocated his wife with his own idea of who he expected her to be. Rather he loved, fully, every new woman she became.
