Words.

So this is what I have to do
I have to write a poem for you

Because the moments themselves are so
Magnificent
And breathtaking
And
And I try
But the words slip through my hands

They float away
To join the stars
And at dawn I find them scattered in the grass
And I gather them in my arms
And I wrap them up
For you

It was better than all my dreams.
Is there any way I can begin to thank you?
And I'm still singing your song
And my flowers are by my window
And I still have a dime in my pocket
Would I forget?

By the way
I saw your note
And it was like the most beautiful ending to summer
And you always have words
And I promise I kept my promise
Thanks to you

They come flooding in now
The memories
And I want to jump off that dock
And I keep looking for your eyes to see me
And I miss your strong hand holding mine
Wet with our tears

And they're gone.

So this is what I have to do
I have to write a poem for you.
