A note of thanks!

Though tears don't well up, the way they did.

My breath doesn't stop nor heartbeats skip,

My cheeks don't blush, my gait doesn't trip,

But you as a thought, is yet to be nipped.

For it was you who taught me how to breathe -

And you who showed me, how a man could cry -

How to love even when deprived

How to let go, yet long all the while.

In the midst of agonies along my plight

You gave me a reason to soulfully smile.

Though I was just a toy, you yearned for a day

A fantasy you sought - in your words, a fay!

Until one day and to my utter dismay

Leaving me broken, you chose to walk away.

Though it left me torn and I kept counting days -

You'd never be back and had no reason to stay!

I missed you still, in my own ways

I missed it, when I heard your name

I missed your wink, I missed your style

I missed the way I'd felt you're mine.

A year was long, and I recovered

I never knew then, that you would return -

To check if I was well, to warn me not to stray!
To assure me that, I'd learn to love again!

I am happy now, for when you came back -
You brought along with you the light, I had lacked
You helped put back what you had whacked!
You gave me my guy and I'm thankful for that!
