The Plastic Screen

My Darling,

I miss you still.



What happened to us has turned me into a zombie





So many things in this world remind me of you




You picked me out of a crowd


...and you chose to love me. ME



How can I listen to the Rat Pack without breaking apart


Or make tea without thinking of our last shared cup?


Or go to the park and not die from memories of our picnics?



I will miss all the time we spent together...


...and I will never forget all the movies we watched


And that you flew three thousand miles just to be with me



Though we had many rough patches, I wanted you still


because for more times than you made me cry, you made me smile


You were a master giver, with natural talent at gift-giving


I could always say that Saint Nic was my patron saint.



You worked very hard and showed me the importance of doing so


And you were always the perfect gentleman


...you have helped me evolve into something better


...helped me find my heart


...you added color to my life


...and you were my dark knight, always watching over me.



We did not need gold to be happy


all we needed was each other...




I am still staring at the phone, waiting for it to ring


... and I will forever be waiting for your emails and messages


...and letters which the post will never bring.



I am still counting the days since you went away


There will be no more music in my life


...and no more dancing


...Or that happily ever after with you




You made your exit at the worst possible time...


right after I had decided not to live without you.




So now I will miss,
for the rest of eternity,


the love I felt in that kiss.
