y o u

all the little moments are what make it

perhaps one day i will find the words

submit the courage to ensuring our love finds the inked stain page

for now i am patient

taking it all in once more

overlooking adventures / the portrait memories / scraps of concert tickets

a scarlet velvet ring box filled of microscopic amethyst

asking myself just how lucky

how perfectly placed

i must have been to have been able to experience you

- good ole' days

bubble gum pink

your favorite color

fire flame red

your natural hair

there have been fortunes paid for a fraction of what cannot be made

to replicate you

graceful admiration

collegiate / diligent / studious

silent wit / sarcastic spit

how could you not see

rather how could we not see

that with each success there hid an insidious doubt

and it lead to your light being forcefully put out

with each day i see signs of you

wrapped up in the wind fluttering by

- i am so thankful you stopped to say hi

i will leave your light on

so when you arrive home you will know you aren't here alone

even if i happen to find some effortless sleep

do not weep into your pillow or buckle your knees in despair

just look for the light i have turned on

sometimes it will be here sometimes it will appear there

nevertheless i will leave a light on

while i wait for you

- pinky promise
