And I think of you
Grinning at the pages of manga with me
Sharing stories and dreams and fantasies
The nights we spent thinking up stupid nursery rhyme versions
Of Fuzzy Wuzzy and Jack be Nimble
I remember them all
Giggling in bed well past bedtime
We don't agree on anything
But never disagree
For our souls connect at the bellybutton
And they always will
No matter the distance
No matter the time between phone calls
No matter the restraints our lives place upon us
The trials, the pain, the sweat, the sadness
I know you are always near
That I can reach you
That you always make sure
I am never alone
Thank you
