Upon a magic afternoon
I met you in the fall
together finding haven
else oblivious to all

I birthdays hold in high regard
you held yours in disdain
first yours then mine crept past us
pointing out the years between

Companionship was natural
but separation hard
I knowing what I know today
those years would disregard

For you, who waited, drew last breath
'Till spring shall come no more
dwell in this haven of my heart
eternity and more
Another poem I had forgotten about, written for a close friend a few months after learning of his death, during a period of abject grief.
Written 28 December 2002.
