When we’re apart the sun rises at noon, and is gone before I can look out the window to see.
The leaves are silent in the breeze and I can see my breath pour out to settle on the earth and fade.
When we’re together, daylight blazes in the shade.
Iced drinks wilt and then boil into sweet tea before the rays of our friendship and of our love and of the beaming of my contented grin.
Without you I’m just pedals and a chain…
but with you I have wheels
(and someone to work the handlebars).
