Learning from a distance...

I heard your voice...
the simple words of wisdom that
tumble effortlessly
time and time again.
Wouldn't you laugh,
I wonder,
over white chocolate cappuccinos?
Where would our stories begin?
Glance at blank pages
waiting to be trusted
with what gleams with promise
from all that is gleaned.
You'd wait to listen,
then share priceless perception.
Ha...I wonder,
would you laugh,
if you knew
I can still recall
each and every theory
that still pricks the conscience
we both earned.
You helped me fill in the blanks
with no strings attached.
Thank you.
Life lessons...
some harder to swallow
than others.
Remember how we'd take turns
digesting each other's
mouthfulls of angst?
Or memories that needed to be tapped
and twisted from a different angle.
Needless to say,
it's been too long,
my friend.
Tucked away...
is this knowing,
GOD gives us guardian angels.
Sometimes with a red ribbon
tied to our hearts
as a reminder of
what needs to be said
and kept silent.
I remember...
it was not too long ago...
when what ached
came from misplaced trust.
Yet, you always took time
to decipher and dissect
what must have been so
elementary to you.
I wouldn't have known it
from the sincerity of
each and every line
that swept away
the uneccessary qualms
robbing life of precious energy.
Thank you:
for reminding me
I'm not crazy
all the time.
Would you ask me to tell you
another story?
Or can we just sit
and bask in whatever
beautiful moment is
yet to be discovered.
Adventure.
Heartwarming.
I won't forget.
Will you?
