Sugar, G'Bye

you ... were joy gentle, sweet - everything beautiful and mild you devoured my failings and frailties with soft silence transformed them to a tender, trembling music that warmed my marrow ... never a complaint or condition naught but a gaze that held love, untainted and undimmed, acceptance, pure, and adoration so assuredly undeserved ... to be the silvery stars in your vault - the shimmer in your fiery eye - was a blessing, unbound and precious ... I was your WORLD, and for as long as this fatuous old fool can yet draw breath, there is nothing I am, have been, or could be ... that compares. <3
