All Me & All You

[Supposed to be cross-posted between Multiply and Blogger. Didn't happen. Don't wish to know why not.]

I'm thinking of something nice to write.
But my thoughts, they are far from pretty.

I deliberated a nice analogy,
She's no compare.

Maybe a song, maybe some poetry,
Quite probably, no wait
Maybe I can make it all me.

Me:

Thank you.
For parting with a smile.

Whom better to understand how heavy that simple gesture can be.
When tears seem mandatory, I was left lifted.
How those crescent lips give hope.
Her eyes show much strength and faith.
The burden of a final embrace,
Never.
It still lingers.

I stood inspired.
Long after she went through those gates.

For a lack of a better word,
For all the things I could, but find no desire to disclose,
Thoughts I should, I feel no need to expose,
She knows.


I thank you.


Have a safe trip, love.
We shall laugh together.
It will be soon.
Trust me.
