Again today I thought of
you
In my mind's eye I saw
you
Thumb outstretched
hitching
All the way 'cross this
USA
You were wearing jeans
blue
Lean physique, eyes of
brown
Youth. God. Dreams.
Cascades.
Sierras.
High. Upon. Peaks.
I smiled thinking of
you
I imagined long
conversations
My heart swelled
wishing
That life had worked
differently
But it didn't
I never before imagined
that
We would be here
now
Yet, here we are
I will always love
you
