The i's never dotted

you were sunlight
and shadow, and I
rode the seasaw

the bills never paid
the soup lost
its letters

you were a Patriot
tailgating
I was a poet

so you flew
and I swallowed
my pride and my
glory
  
years pass, and I'm
rhyming

in the haze of forgiveness

as all turns to love
in the twilight revision

your i's never dotted

and you never looked
finer.

Nothing's ever perfect.
Love him for the rest of your vision.
You have it made in the long run.
Nice to read you here at PIP.

You're a very interesting writer and that's always good!

Ayyye... this is sooo good... it speaks to me like an old friend, I love how there is a story in every verse, one that I can understand, at least for me... I'm very impressed and excited to read you in the future.

This is very beautifully expressed, EmmaRose.  Just a word of caution and advice, if you want it, from an old nanny goat - nobody should ever lose him/herself in the mists of another - everyone is far too important for that.
