A light that waves across my life,
like an aurora in a dark sky.
A smile as warm as sunshine,
and eyes that hold the starry night.
My heart quickens when you’re near;
I carry that warmth when you leave.
Platonic, though it may be,
your kindness echoes through my soul.
You may not know how long it stays—
a word, a laugh, a moment shared.
Sometimes my heart sinks
when you’re far from here;
then I remember your smile,
and its warmth brings you near.
There is much I leave unspoken,
but this I hope you understand:
I’m grateful our paths crossed
in this vast and restless world.
You are a godsend, my dear friend.
