Sunday Boy

You were my sunday boy

You felt like Andy Griffith church days
And ice cream on the porch

You were everything good
Kind to all
And smiled twice as much as me

You were honey 
Never ice
Except for the chills you sent down my back

We’d go for walks in the sunshine
We’d talk
But mostly laugh

Sudoku over my shoulder
Someone I wouldn’t shut up about
Sharing a hot drink in a paper cup

You were a rare one
One I loved
And desperately wanted to keep

Obviously 
From the tone of this poem
That didn’t happen

My sunday boy
Really was too good for me

Sweet with the faintest hint of bitter. Love the metaphors. "You were honey/never ice/except the chills you sent down my back" Beautiful poem!
