Dear John

He laughs every time
when i see him
I give
with two small chocolate,
taps on left shoulder
"You are precious"
then I have nothing to say
"you too"

Over five years

Standing on the other street
towards John,
"come to me"
I gesture and smile

no car
no people
on the one way road
wind lonesome

John cannot come to me

Someday he won't be afraid of the wind,
doing across the road
we are still precious to
each other

if we can see it
if we can feel it
Our twinkles.
