reminded

said to be silly

in this day & age

to believe for a

second that all

it would take is

to remind the one

you love that

you love them,

that it would take

a simple form,

that it could be

simple & unprovoked,

that it would have

even more of

a positive effect

than you ever could

imagine---just

by letting them know,

that it wouldn’t take

money, that it wouldn’t

take promises that

no one in a million

could live up to, that

it wouldn’t take

a whole false way of

“newness” that

we all know gets

lost as the days pass

anyway, that it

would be the grounds

of a precious

memory that they’d

keep safely inside

until that last breath &

most of all,

that

it

would

work.
