Before the chicory unfurls to the sun,
meet me down the gravel road
beneath the Tulip Poplar.
I will Revel in your aura-
Share my radiance with you.
Our beautiful friendship gleaming.
Exchanging love in the purest form,
the way that we relate.
Laughter dancing in our eyes
If the world saw things differently
We could do this everyday.
Until then,
We’ll look forward to next summer
If only for Thursday.
Maintaining a marriage and refusing to entirely abandon an important friendship.
