Dear Dactyl of Adoration

I'll say them every day you know.
Those three well-known monosyllables...

When I'm curled up to your contours in the carriage of a train,

When I wake and I sense you before I've opened my eyes,

When we're staring skywards a long way from home and mapping the stars,

When we're carefree and tossing pebble after pebble into the dusk-dressed sea,

When you're lost to your music, and don't hear my words,

When you finally sleep here and can rest in the calm...

Those three well-known, well-used, but well-loved monosyllables,
Which now mean much more than they have done before.
