SUMMING IT UP

September 2, 2017

I enjoyed you best when …

you whispered sweet words

and your eyes danced

warm and bright

because we were together.

I enjoyed you best when ...

you held my hand when we walked

and you squeezed as if to never

let me go.

I enjoyed you best when ...

I made you laugh with my silly thoughts

and you did me one better

with wit of your own.

I enjoyed you when ...

I held you as we fell to sleep

your body warm and calm against mine

when your face held a smile meant only for me

and there was a bounce

to your every step.

I enjoyed the feel of your mind

when we shared our views of the world

when I felt the touch of your head

against my shoulder.

I enjoyed your ‘good night’ texts

when we were apart

and I enjoyed knowing

when alone

that we'd be together soon.

All of these, and more,

I will remember

and

I will look back for a while

to those many times

when you and I were one

and I

enjoyed you best.
