Back (for Bean)

Sometimes love does return 
just like lost animals 
it knows how to 
find its way home 
Even though the fire
which once burned brightly 
and warmed both hands 
is nothing but ash 
the spark of what 
once was remains smoldering 
and often it takes 
but one calm breath 
to ignite the flame 
A few kind words 
I have always been 
and always will be 
here whenever you need 
for even though you 
weren’t I never forgot
