You will always be my friend, right?

I cannot hug you

but you listen to my secrets

You do not respond

but I know you are listening

You are always changing

but always there

I see what I want to see

and I say what I want to say

and everything is okay

because you are always there.

Just the wisps of a thought

falling from the sky

catching the light with an invisible, selfish net

greeting me in the morning and staying around to

say goodnight

Taking a summer vacation

but coming back in time to see me off to my first day of school.

Beautiful, light, high-in-the-sky

clouds
