You

You have lit the flame again

  glowing pale blue and orange

  heating my heart

    and melting the ice

You

With your simple ideals

  and complicated past

  mirroring my own

  connected by pain

You

A comedian, a friend

  unassuming and innocent

  as unreachable as the moon

You

I have to thank

  even when the guilt descends

  even when the tears will come

You
