Thank you

It’s simple, no? But so effortlessly effective

By Melissa IngoldsbyPublished 3 years ago Updated 3 years ago 1 min read

and like a buttercup flower, you brought it to my cheeks, it turned rosy

It meant that I was “boy crazy”

But really I was in love with you,

Little yellow butterflies tingle your skin

Your heart tingles like a hummingbird

And I love your voice under my covers as we laugh and laugh

I wish we had these memories

I have them in my day dreams

Buttercup lemon drop,

I thank you for your kindness

And for your astonishing astute insight,

I thank you,

So

Thank you,

As we have all of a summer night

To never say good night,

And kiss our fears away, like a pure romance rain.

Is our thank you so rare,

When so many bark it out like a radio vibration backwards,

When I know and you know it as I whisper it in your ear,

It’s rare to you,

And I feel our life and raw energy inside of it, perfect polite,

Drinking in lemon,

Love.
