"Little grey messenger"
Are you here yet?
I've been anxiously waiting for that flutter in my heart.
What news do you have for me, little grey messenger?
All news is good news when it comes from you.
Will you tell me that he loves me?
Will your words lull me to sleep tonight?
You're so familiar, little grey messenger.
Counting down the days until your author is home.
Too many, too many...we're almost there.
Unclear at best, yet you portray such vivid images.
I love how you feed my eager eye.
But soon you'll stop multiplying, little grey messenger...
instead you will morph,
what is left are the memories of what used to be the man i've been missing behind your thoughts.
Thanks for coming, little grey messenger.
You'll forever be in my heart.
