The Joy She Brought Me
Here I sat under a willow tree
With a cup of English Breakfast tea
Your smile and laugh - they comforted me until dark
Our initials carved into the bark
We held each others hand
Things were going exactly as we planned
I brought sandwiches and chips
Then I held you close as I kissed your lips
You smelled like coffee and strawberries
I asked what perfume you were wearing - you said "It varies."
You brought some cake, cookies, and a quart of ice cream
Being with you felt like it was something out of a dream
You brought me such joy
I was such a naive boy
I speak in past tense as you can see
Because now you are in Heaven watching over me
