The Joy She Brought Me

Here I sat under a willow tree
With a cup of English Breakfast tea

Your smile and laugh - they comforted me until dark
Our initials carved into the bark

We held each others hand
Things were going exactly as we planned

I brought sandwiches and chips
Then I held you close as I kissed your lips

You smelled like coffee and strawberries
I asked what perfume you were wearing - you said "It varies."

You brought some cake, cookies, and a quart of ice cream
Being with you felt like it was something out of a dream

You brought me such joy
I was such a naive boy

I speak in past tense as you can see
Because now you are in Heaven watching over me
