you saved me
for three whole hours
180 dark, cold minutes to cry
the blanket of your attention
I wrapped myself up in
so tenderly needy
for just such warmth
but you couldn't have known this
not then...................
yet you replenished moments previously
that were so dim
and I am enamored of such sweet sharing
as you..................
my sweet irreplaceable you
are the truest friend
you make me thus ashamed
as I have not been so to you
but quite honored still
to have so strongly present in my corner
a truly dear
so very good man to know
you couldn't have chosen to connect with me
at a better time
your intuitiveness makes my torn trembling
heart want to get up and dance
just as my empty arms long to reach out
and hug you so very tightly
and thank you for such deep caring
and if I didn't write this
then you would never know
that I will love you for this great kindness
every day of my life to come and on
I swear
and I will try my damnedest never to forget
just how beautiful it feels
as I like now
to know and love you
just as you are
'As This Way Only I Do'
and always shall..............
