I hope You know that I love You—
that the mirth of my heart rests
in the corners of You where time nests;
that I am as much your being as I can.
I hope You know that I miss You—
God, do I miss you. I am wretched.
I hope You know that I am trying, so hard.
I hope You know that I stopped crying.
That even when I was incorrigible,
I was for You. I am your dearest, always.
I was, I hope You know, quite taken by you.
I am, I hope You know, quite undone.
You taught me everything I know about love.
You taught me everything I know.
You taught me everything.
You taught me.
You.
I hope You know that I am Your love now.
I will carry You with me where You cannot be.
I will give You to others. I promise I will not hoard You.
I will see to it that I do not lose You...
— for S., so long ago.
