Words are a luxury
I am choosing not to spend
Loosely on you

Not because you're
Not worth it
But because I do not
Wish for them to lose
Their touch
Their impact
Their heart

I want every word
I write in your honor
In your memory
To be full of life
Love, joy

And the occasional
Sorrow
Not to cause you pain
But to help you overcome it

To bring a smile to your face
Not one that stuns the world
With its brilliance
But a simple one
Lingering at the corner of your lips
Showing satisfaction
Fulfillment
Wholehearted acceptance
From my heart to yours
