I thought I saw you today
In the crowd at the mall.
Mothers with strollers,
Couples with nowhere to be,
Teenage girls with packages
Of today’s must-haves,
But all I saw was you
Looking like you did
The day we got Christmas wrapped up
In a quick afternoon.
We laughed at our minor miracle!
Yes, your laugh.
I remember.
And that smile as broad as the sky
The color of your eyes.
I remember most your hair
Long, blonde, strong
So like you
That I couldn’t help but envy it
With the loving envy of good friends.
Such freedom in friendship
Is itself a miracle.
I blinked
And you were gone
Back into the crowd.
