AS THIS WAY ONLY I DO

Folder: 
JOURNAL#23

you saved me

for three whole hours

180 dark, cold minutes to cry

the blanket of your attention

I wrapped myself up in

so tenderly needy

for just such warmth

but you couldn't have known this

not then...................

yet you replenished moments previously

that were so dim

and I am enamored of such sweet sharing

as you..................

my sweet irreplaceable you

are the truest friend

you make me thus ashamed

as I have not been so to you

but quite honored still

to have so strongly present in my corner

a truly dear

so very good man to know

you couldn't have chosen to connect with me

at a better time

your intuitiveness makes my torn trembling

heart want to get up and dance

just as my empty arms long to reach out

and hug you so very tightly

and thank you for such deep caring

and if I didn't write this

then you would never know

that I will love you for this great kindness

every day of my life to come and on

I swear

and I will try my damnedest never to forget

just how beautiful it feels

as I like now

to know and love you

just as you are

'As This Way Only I Do'

and always shall..............

Author's Notes/Comments: 

written for my friend Dave aka 'Cavedweller' a very good dear friend who was there for me when I was so very low losing M.A.K. He was a true friend and cheered me up on the telephone for 3 hours, first by listening to me and then making me laugh with his silly stories which allowed me to escape the great weighted grief I was feeling at the time.
