A Mi Cielo

Never have I ever fallen in love

The way I did with you.

Gasping for words and,

Grasping at air, I

Fell.

Into you.

Never have I ever loved anyone

The way I love you.

With roots from flesh to bone,

Let this tree grow.

Its fruits be your ripened grin.

Never have I ever lived for anyone

The way I live for you.

I the hummingbird, you the columbine.

Sweet nectar rejuvenate me,

Make me shine.

Never have I ever planned for anyone

The way I planned for you.

Out on the veranda we sit, old.

In a house for four, maybe

Six. Here we did good,

Our dreams were bold,

But didn’t they come true?
