although this silence is all we have left
know that i have that song that always reminded
me of you on repeat in my head.

better than any mix tape i could give you for christmas.

prayers and blessing.

may a light burn in you always
the day i can no longer carry it for you.
and may the simple gestures
remind you how i once loved you.
and may you recognize and embrace it
before midnight spells have faded.

and may joy find you.
and me.
