To Arnold

I wish I could remember the first day

First hour, first moment of seeing you

If bright or dim, the season it might be

Summer or winter for aught I can say

So unrecorded did I slip away

So blind was I, to see and to forsee

So dull to mark the bidding of my love

That would not blossom yet, for many a day

If only I could rcollect it

Such a day of days, I let it come and go

As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow

It seemed to mean so little

Meant so much, if only now I could recall that touch

First touch of hand in hand, did one but know

I dream at night, dreams I want to come true

I dream we are together

On a beach in the middle of nowhere

I’m holding you and telling you that I love you

And holding you drives me crazy

For this dream I can not have again

It is a once in a lifetime thing

I wish I could be in that moment forever

Necause this man means so much to me

I would do anything for him

But then I wake trying to get back to

These memories of him

That beautiful man, who I hold so dear

I want him asleep next to me, Vos

That I have waited so long for

I need those dreams to keep him forever

I love you Arnold
