Mackinaw

for a moment,

sitting on that bench,

with the water washing up

on the shore,

the cool breeze blowing in

our face,

the bright sun shining

overhead,

we had come to a place never

thought possible,

a place where everything is as

it should be,

as it was meant to be;

we discussed many things

on that bench,

warm, bright, happy things,

deep, dark, painful things;

she has given me more

than I ever imagined possible,

more than I ever deserved.
