And so we
Sat in the
Parking lot sharing
An ice cream
Sundae watching the
Sun set talking
Just two guys
Mirroring each other
For we both
Were attracted there
And in the
Drive we hugged
And kissed and
As I walked
To my door
I turned back
Into the pumpkin
That I am
The magic you
Are and its
Spell now gone
And like my
First bike you
Make me weeeeee
And ahhhhhh as
We roll down
The street like
My first Christmas
The gift that
You are makes
Me wonder what
Marvelousness lies within
Like spring you
Blossom and like
Summer you warm
And like Autumn
I did fall
It is said
That you stumble
Into love that
It catches you
As you fall
Awkwardly at life
Once tripping your
Outstretched arms held
Me helped me
Steadied me put
Me on my
Feet and walked
With me until
I walked alone
At which point
You then disappeared
Sometimes love appears
Like the hands
Of God when
We’re our worst
Making us better
I miss you
This best love
Like roller coasters
The thrill comes
In the wait
Once you’re riding
It goes past
So fast that
You lose breath
Just like life
Looking down on
You from baby
Heaven you were
Excited and waiting
Now here most
Of us ride
The life ride
With eyes closed
Praying for a
Very quick end
To these things
Keep eyes open
Making your memories
I sit and
Wind wind winding
Knowing that soon
You will pop
Up surprising me
No matter how
Many times I
Push you down
I am childish
But you are
The clown that
Makes me laugh
