It’s been six years, But I knew after six messages.
Like a street-smart drug, a blend of wit and brains, of astuteness and allure.
Its withdrawals deep, its effects hypnotic.
Hook it to my veins. Drink it in, boy, you’ve no idea how lucky you are!
The longest file in the doctor's office she said.
It wasn’t a joke.
Eagle-eyed observation, where I am blind. An optimistic, steady presence, when I’m buried in thoughts, or in the clouds.
Often, humorous pessimism,
Soon resolved with a nap.
A sexual connection that runs deeper. A unity of body that feels like a unity of soul.
Her humor strikes, a sharp quip.
Saying it as it is, as frank as you like! Making it all the funnier.
Family loyalty, to levels I could only ever dream to match.
An innately good, caring and daring soul. Repressed by life’s pressures yet not defeated.
Clinging to nostalgia. Never lose hold of it, that kind and playful streak.
When my logic driven brain is listing everything to pack,
Planning every minute, little details and for all possibilities,
Hers is fixed on the most important of all,
Pack your senses of love and adventure.
Self-doubts which deep down she knows are just that. A rare true natural beauty, both at the surface and within. If only she saw what the world sees, both of her and in her.
Showing glimpses of living, truly living! Lessons from which many could take. Serene, unplugged, tranquil, and grounded. Here for the now and taking what comes.
Joy at the simple things,
The birth of a petal,
The clumsy stagger of a young pup drunk on life,
The appreciation of cuisine through a palate as refined as an artists brushstroke.
Who would have known, that seven billion billion billion atoms,
Could hook one in so far.
Six years I’ve been challenged, In the best ways possible.
To level up, be the man I can be.
In character, and even just to brew great tea.
Six hundred years more and I’d still be hungry
Greedy for just one day more.
By your side through the seasons is all I can hope for.
Grow old as we navigate this life journey,
Hand in hand.
