Affectionately Yours

A place where you ain’t you, I ain’t me,

A space though small but with happiness,

Where you choose from the heap of desires,

You put the sorrows in the detritus,

Time not needed to heal wounds.

 

A place, I tell you nothing, you hear everything,

A space with dignity between us-no illusion,

Where customs to follow, but no hindrance,

You and I can laugh whole heartedly,

And tears taste only sweetness.

 

A place, You and I can embrace all others,

A space, nothing for us but all for all,

Where no discrimination-all affection,

You and I can live forever and never to leave,

Even tiny moments not for ages.

Good evening and see you next time.
