Living Years

Michael A. McGuire

There are so many things I've 
wanted to say to you but I never 
allowed myself the Time…

…I love the way you immerse 
yourself in a movie, song or book; and that glorious laugh, when talking for hours, to close friends.

Your courage in the face of immoral acts, and correcting someone who constantly offends.   

The excitement in your eyes when 
you discover something new, and that sad look upon your face, when the World has made you blue.

Just...all the idiosyncrasies that could only characterize..."You".

I want to say I’m sorry if I ever hurt you…in any way, shape or form.  

Being Human is sometimes difficult and…

Most importantly, I want you to know that I love You and am so happy you are in my Life.  

All of these things and so much more, I would dearly love to say...

...if only I were speaking directly to you…not the tombstone above your grave.

    I love a twist in a story, movie or poem. This is a good one that makes one think. Very nicely done.

    Michael, this feels like the kind of letter people carry for years because they never got to say it aloud. Glad you got to express it here, my friend.🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
