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
