With and without

This couple that I sort of know, but sort of don't, has been together longer than my parents were.  Which is weird not in the fact that I've got some, like, totally old acquaintafriends.  It's weird more in a "Wow.  They're like totally together and good for each other.  That's so cool."  Sometimes it's this totally forgotten concept, but yeah, relationships are cool.

There was a write up about it, from one to the other.  Very sweet and reminding me of their goodness for one another and my enjoyment of them - selfish of me, but true.  I wrote them a quick little thank you, and sort of liked the way it came out.  So I thought I'd share it.

On a cold night
With an amazing comforter
To hold me and warm me

In a quiet still
With a cat at my side
To stir me and purr me

Near purchased possessions
With all personally relevant
To fill thoughts and rouse dreams

Through ready eyes
With their search unceasing
Your words remind me of something elusive
