Mount Hope Bridge (for Fitz)

[kylealesandra]

Across three decades
and another thousand miles
you come to me
and light my day
with words
words of wisdom
words of healing
words to redefine
the girl I used to be
the shy boy that was you.

Three full decades
and three more years
I climbed the stairs
bleary-eyed, sleep-deprived
and begged for quiet
so that I could sleep
and now I beg for words
and stairs to climb
to cross that thousand miles
between friends.
