For Andrea Again
For Andrea Again

I am reminded of those late nights
when you snuggle close and ask
“Are you awake? Tell me a story.”
And I search my empty brain
and speak of memories of youth
running free in a dry and desert land
and how loneliness struck me
in my damp and misty homeland
of friends that came and went
and yes I’ve been alone at times.

And you recall those times alike
though now that we’re just you and me
and how strange it is that it’s enough
and all our gratitude’s for now
and not the past.
