A Thousand Times Your Name

While the light is still shining, I take my notepad to the window sill, and with my ink blue pencil write your name and again..... and again. A whole page with nothing but your name, but that one word tells a story in my heart. Thousands of words I will never publish. Words that are coloured in every available colour: Orange for the hoodie you like to wear, and the juice we both like to drink. Brown for the colour of your eyes, like powerful mocha, paired with dark chocolate, exquisite. Green for my eyes who see you wherever you are, Red for your heart and mine, Blue for the water that separates us. Purple a colour they gave our love, how susprising. Yellow for stars and moon and sun, all stellar constellations, when we gaze up, we see the same differently. You and I, the same yet so different. A whole page with nothing but your name, every time telling me a different story. Once your name belonged to a young boy, to a wild teen, a young man in love, a man with desillusions, a man in love all over again. Your name, every time it writes something different on my page. It tells of fears, laughs and love. Thousand times your name, a thousand times I rewrite my love on this page, until the moonlight disappears behind a cloud and I need to sleep. Sweet dreams my love :) *** April 21, 2017 Copyright © Darren White
