"Writing comes more easily if you have something to say."

I saw a star above the mountain peak

and I named it after you.

It glittered and gleamed

Just like your smile

And I named it after you.

.

.

I heard the leaves crunch beneath my feet

and I thought of you and me.

Through the thinning trees

We would hold hands -

I thought of you and me.

.

.

I sang a song from the depth of my heart

And I tried to sing to you.

Though you're far away,

I hoped you could hear

So I tried to sing to you.

.

.

I smelled the flowers by the apartment stairs

and I picked one up for you.

The colors all danced

Like we would together;

I picked one up for you.

.

.

I held a book with your name etched in -

My fingers traced the letters.

The fading gold foil

Glimmered in light;

My fingers traced the letters.

.

.

I wrote a poem with you in mind -

Effortless words about you.

You might never see,

Heartfelt and sincere,

Effortless words about you.
