So I could have a favourite word.
My favourite word; Dearest
It has always been, maybe,
and I didn't know.
I had to lose you, maybe,
so I could have a favourite
word, to call and feel
my own.

I don't know why, but the meaning behind the words sounds like something Emily Dickinson would write about. I like it, it's short and beautiful.

I think I have read and myself composed a dozen of such pieces of art and what I have concluded after reading this is that this one is the most touching piece I have ever come across in my life. I can see your nanny, you, the feelings, a flashback of the last rites of my father and almost burst into crying.

You have such a way of producing such weight and depth in so few words. You are a marvel to me.
