Your laughter, soft and gentle, tasted like strawberries, eaten on a plaid blanket in a sunlit field.
I felt your sadness as if dipping a finger into the surface of a freezing lake, longing to be its evaporation.
Each inhale of your presence left the lingering scent of cedar wood and lost dreams.
I swear I could hear your smile, like a birdsong in September’s Spring.
And you - you looked like dawn, like new beginnings and fresh hopes and tomorrows. (I have always loved the sunrise.)
