For Tom

Spring is right around the corner. The trees are getting ready to bud and the flowers are preparing to bloom. It's a time or rebirth and renewal. It's a time of joy. Spring used to be my favorite time of the year until the year Tom committed suicide. I still love the springtime but it's bittersweet. Today this is for him.

clever boy
other half of my heart
you wandered away too soon

laying in the grass
my head on your chest
your heartbeat in my ears
fingers entwined

sun in our eyes
breeze on our skin
soft kisses on my forehead
did you know you know then you were leaving?

gentle songs from your lips
stories from the heart
if you had asked then
i would have surely gone with you

years came and went
sadness remains but softens
you believed in my song 
when you couldn't believe in your own

clever boy
other half of my heart
you wandered away too soon
now i will sing loud enough for us both
