I hope you find yourself lying gently in my words
That you hear all the little things
I'll never whisper in your ear
I hope you read them and know your influence painted
Impressions so deeply upon my heart
That they spill out through my fingers
Because utterance was not an option
I hope you'll read and know
I hold onto the way your existence made me feel
That I keep it safe in a secret place
That though I would not change the path life has brought
That I will treasure those moments always
The ones that didn't get away
The ones that were so gloriously lived
...Felt
.....Tasted
......Touched
Not all moments are meant to last forever
But this does not diminish their value in time or life
So, as I write and share and
Dream those dreams meant only for me
In a soft, sacred space
Know your remnants are there
Never saying your name
Never speaking out loud
But quietly reveling in the beauty of those moments shared
So please, do not press upon me
Please do not try to change life's path
Float along with fate
Let her carry you where she may
Live and love all your moments
And I'll quietly hope I am there
