I miss you, dearly So much so I recall clearly Lottery days Sunning ourselves or seeking shade Silence listens to our breathing A seat at your picnic table Winning How lucky I was Like a billionaire With nothing in hand But love and admiration
Need I say? A past never erased Nor wished away Held onto, still as Cool aqua tarn Smiles to the gills Though I recall My anxious face Mirrored in yours How I wished Upon lucky orange belly feather Sacred shells under webbed feet How to make you happier Than ever before, shall we?
Need I say? I regret one thing We are a culmination Of all that had been I longed for sweet escapism Take your hand into the blue Drift on cloudy scenes From breakfast till noon Ride the racing waves Till breath escapes Revive till night Closes our eyes Once again
A sign language Understood completely without a single word To know what one feels A living eulogy To be oneself Without apology To be cheered on By your own team Receive outstretched arm When you fall A desire to be known Weathered scars and all.

Do everything you can To tell someone you love them Even if they don’t understand Why someone would. It is a given That one who struggles To see themselves As loveable Need it more Than those who Love themselves more Than you
Purest secrets of heart Are always one's own No prying ear Or peering eye Could ever come near Mystery of mind Far from critique No matter how many Mouths ill speak Suspicions creep Upon mere kindness How often friends Are lost in mire No one knows How love or life grows
