Dialogue

It's that time of month again

When I miss your smile and I miss you grin

I miss your laugh that rang out

And I miss the way you would shout 

When you felt injustice 

But the best was 

When you talked to me about a book

That you stayed up all night to read

And needed me to listen to the details 

Of the tale and then you'd expand 

On your dreams, how you slayed a zombie 

Or two, or three

You saved the earth from an apocalyptic death

With a light saber and stealth 

You fought the dragons and the wolves

With your magic sense of humor 

And your piercing wit

With which you asked and answered questions

Learned your lessons with skill

And a will of steal 

Your generosity overwhelms me still

Your ability to create ease

In new people who may be friends or 

Newbies 

You found a way to connect, to reach out

To lift me from my gloom and give a 

Perspective of soon I would be done or 

I would have achieved my goal 

You believed in me and my ability 

You were there for me 

And I miss you now

It's that time of month again
