Oh yes yes
We have lived
Many many many
Lives before and
In each we have
Seen been keen
In love and
Heartache and like
Love we try
To remember those
Succulent delicious moments
But my love
The only that
Matters is now
You right here
For the others
I don’t remember
They have been
Eclipsed by you
If there is
But one thing
To remember it’s
This my friend
There is no
Debt in friendship
Be as free
Of me as
I am of
You and let
Us celebrate always
When I say
That I miss
You what I
Mean is that
I miss me
The me that
You knew that
You made me
Believe that I
Was to you
Without that me
I’m back to
Simple old me
Like an untethered
Boat that has
Drifted out to
Sea with the
Tides of day
You’re now hundreds
Of miles away
Far off shore
A late night
Snowfall has blanketed
Us and I
Awake to the
Chill of distance
I do understand
Yet wished you’d
Say that it
Is no longer
I but anyone
The easiest thing
To become is
Lovers the hardest
Is friends post
The transition lies
In truth courage
And trust the
Heart knows what
The mind cannot
I shall leave
You alone the
Same way that
We stumbled across
Each other before
I have been
A listing ship
Past-laden and
Heavy abandoned by
Those responsible left
To break upon
The same rocks
They tried navigating
At first I was
A wreck until
I was accepted
By the reef
Of which I
Now proudly beam
I am one
Of you here
