I Wonder What You Look Like Now

I reflect on what you look like now! You were beauteous when I saw you last. What precious gifts did time endow? All those years of tranquil absence As you slumbered away the time somehow. I wonder if your eyes remain bright, They always looked at me kindly. I think that, if you're at home tonight, I could give you a call ~ perhaps... Or should I just simply write? I expect that you smile as you always could; Intriguing, enchanting, and toasty warm. But you smiled for me today ~ I knew you would (In any case I've misplaced your number). I must be more careful ~ I know I should. Do you think of me, perchance? When days are long and nights are cold. Bestow on me a passing glance? Think of times, now far away ~ Distant? A sombre time, a valedictory happenchance. I should visit but what's to gain? ~ To see, now, how you are? It could easily even cause you pain. I would come soon, now! today! But outside it looks like rain.
