Appreciation

Our last meeting

I rehearsed my part

I read my speech

you looked on with pride

I'm proud, too

I can sing and read in a different language

from ancient scroll with no vowels that sort of smells bad

I can't thank you enough

you've helped me grow

learn

experience

without you

I would be nowhere

without you

I wouldn't know how amazing your crepes are

especially with maple syrup and raspberries and blueberries

the perfect, thin, folded treat dusted with confectioner's sugar

I will come visit

I will miss you

I will remember you with respect

honor

joy

thank you.

as you hold hands awkwardly
though enjoying it
as you experience feelings that I've never experienced before.

after years of distance
it's worst when you don't end up getting to spend the time you wanted to spend with them
