When I see him again
he is so familiar that it seems he never left
It was yesterday we said goodbye
not weeks ago
He is so part of me
that I barely notice when he’s not around
Because I’m still seeing the world, thinking
these are the stories I will tell him
these are the places I will show him
Like a one man audience, my number one fan
he sits at the back of my lonely mind
in the darkness
Then time comes again
to say goodbye
Suddenly I realize his presence is overwhelming
He is beautiful
He is built of sunshine and smiles
of a tender touch
and like a wave of clouds suddenly sweeping over the sky
I feel cold
