Always You



in those many ways of yesterday
I pull them close
and hug
tight,
certain ones to be sure
the ones that counted,
mattered.
that
stood the test
above the rest those memories rise,
regardless.
in spite of

the rattle rings
for one more shake
reminding of the time at hand,
listen...

and if I could, I would
bring you close
closer than you've ever been,
if you only knew.
maybe you do
and maybe I wish too hard

in the quiet of my silent dream
you are there.

The Knowing


these days have a way of lingering now
hours taunting mere minutes
tapping,
as the seconds do stretch.
it's almost too much to remember
and yet,
I can't wait

every thought
brings us closer,
every smile
reminds.
anticipation growing,
the future
is ours to find...
