I did
not know
what special
FRIEND
I owned.
All until I lost you,
then I truly saw your value.
All of your words
came true,
and without you,
my life
became blue.

I'm retired.
I was tired yesterday
and I'm tired again
today.

You
expected me
to be a perfect circle.
With no sharp edges or rough
corners. I'm sorry, but I'm not perfect
in the way that you want to me
to be. I am perfect
in my own
way.

There's nothing better
than
in the evening,
thinking about you.
At night,
dreaming about you.
In the morning,
waking up
and
remembering you.

It's only
four letters
put together to make
a word.
Living this is like a living in
a different world.

No sorrow
no pain;
no worry,
no blame.

It's only four letters,
spelling out


L     O     V     E


yet its outcome
is strong and more than enough.
