Walking briskly outside
listening to Taylor Swift’s Fearless songs,
on the player you gave me….
the wind bites at my ears.
I fight to keep thoughts of you
out of my mind.
Christmas songs piping
throughout the park as the smell
of chocolate lingers in the air.
Snowflakes are dancing to the ground
like confetti colored lights
If your heart remains open
love will find its way in.
My heart was open
and you found that hole.
Thank you
The cold air forces me
to put on my gloves
and walk faster
We join the others on the bus for a
long drive to Atlantic City
sharing hours of company
and conversation….
and a walk on the beach.
Those special moments,
and hundreds of others,
will remind me of
Our Friendship…
and you will stay
in my heart forever.
Tears fill my eyes and sting my cheeks
as as I return to the office,
and I realize
I lost a glove.
