Beautiful Paul
We were sharing stories
about old loves
and friendships,
when I came across a picture
of Paul.
It crushes me
when I think
of beautiful Paul.
She has heard me speak
in honored tones
about him.
Tears filling
in my eyes.
I said, “Honey, if you would
have met my friend Paul,
you would love me
even more than
you already do.”
