Why Sonny

I never knew the day I first met you that we would end up becoming so close. Somehow between talking politics and having casual conversation, I discovered you were a very special person. So special, in fact, that when I was having a bad day I reached out to you and you made my day bright again. Dining at your restaurant has now become part of my routine…simply because I enjoy the pleasure of your company. And when I go to see you perform…I get mesmerized gazing at you passionately playing your guitar with such grace. It’s ironic...I really do not know how you managed to become so dear to me…you just have. You need not be afraid of my feelings for you…you are just someone who brings joy in my life at a time when I am in need of emotional healing. This is why I say you have “magical healing powers”…you nurture a part of me that has been neglected for far too long…you are making me whole again. And all that you are simply doing is being “Sonny”…and that is all that I need.
