A poem I like!

On sunny days sprawled in the garden making daisy chains gazing at earnest progress of ants across grass. No time no space just you In the warmth of my embrace.

You never called me by name and we never spoke our companionship never required words but oh how I loved The smile that spread across your face as I approached, or when you tiptoed up to me and tapped me on the shoulder.

Last year, you got glasses. your feet grew three sizes. You found a new companion One with red hair freckles and a laugh that can scatter pigeons from trees like tossed confetti,

A warmth spread through me watching You two. I no longer approach but I see you sometimes through the window looking lovely, and though your features blur through the glass indistinct as Odysseus at sea, I would know your profile anywhere, your hopes, your bent, your yearning,

I am your solitude, your loving apartness, your hollowed, attended alone, showtime come again when you crave me beside you i’ll be back in an instant to clock you in love.
