I typed this up a moment ago for Mosaic. What good timing. This is how I feel about Devin. This is a beautiful poem written by a friend of mine. I was very imprressed. I hope he doesn't mind me sharing his brilliance.
Afternoon Tea
In the sun, in the shade
Just the one of us since a month ago today.
Just you and your thoughts, none of me.
I’m just here, a shade, not really there.
In the peripheral of your mind I wait for you
Following the train of your thoughts
Knowing it will never arrive at my station
Don’t look at me like you don’t know what I’m talking about.
Like eww what is that on my shoe
“Just hold me hand
Don’t let go
I might fall”
You say
Just me alone
Here with myself and you
But you’re not here
My thoughts make you near
You’re where I go
I do it to make you happy
Here sitting watching you
Here I may stay for
As long as you are here
The grief set in my soul
A knife in my heart
Here sitting watching you
Knowing when I leave
You won’t remember me
