Pearls

I usually do not wear pearls
but today is my birthday
they will stay
on my neck all through the night.
He was hopeless at presents.
He always broughtÂ
me one of course.
For birthdays,
anniversary and Christmas.
But for some reasonÂ
he never got what i wanted.
It did not matter, I do not care.
He was the only gift I ever needed.
He always made me laugh
when my dark moods came.
How did he alwaysÂ
make me feel so beautiful?
When the illness came
he tried to hide it from me.
But I knew ...I knew...
Even now after all this time
I have dancedÂ
the practiced movements of love
with other impostors.
But when the dark of night
fills my bedroom
Its you honey
always you.
only you knew how fix me.
Tonight IÂ will sleepÂ
dreaming of you.
As I am wearingÂ
your pearls.
