It’s the way you say my name.
I hear it in your voice.
Life’s not been the same,
Not difficult, the choice.

It’s the way you “got the joke”
Of words before I spoke.
Days when you’re not near,
I still feel you here.

It’s the way you hum that tune,
When I’m not in the room.
I still can hear you humming it,
Humming a Blue Moon.

It’s the way that things just go
When you let your feelings show.
Like magnets, how we draw.
I think, surely, you must know.

Will you be my Valentine?
Love me ‘til the end of time?
Whisper springtime to my soul?
Two halves of us make a whole.

A challenge well met, I would say!

Hmmm

I think this poem speaks
to two halves making a soul...

What a treat! Today I got to read two of your newest poems! I have been missing your wondrous poetic and kindred presence on these seas of blue! Ships ahoy, me matey!

This poem struck a loving chord in my own heart! It truly was lover-ly, lily jo!

Enjoy the journey!

Love you, my friend!
