Lost and Found

My darling friend,

It has been only you by my side,

relentlessly,

at my beck and call

when there was no one else

aware of my heart beat

no one left to tell me

everything’s gonna be alright

When you reach out for me

I feel you like no other

Together we are lost in your words

Embracing a world only known to us

I have no doubt whatsoever

That you will be with me till my last breath

or at least until lucidity remains

At the end of the day

Is there any way to show my gratitude

To explain how very much I love you,

My dearly departed friend, Edith Wharton

Ethan Frome has saved my life

Eternally grateful,

Your bookworm
