i remember   now that time and

distance separate us   well enough

the expression on your adorable

face as you realized the perfection

which you saw  which i saw   which 

was you   how your eyes grew wide   

~

it was your dawning   and it was 

the setting sun on your childhood

it was a time of awakening   and

we did awake   we were in the blush

of our youth and your chrysalis

we could look ahead   and did   life

was our piñata   it makes me smile

to think of it   how close we came
