If I were a painter,
I'd paint your memories,
Your earliest day, and quirky way,
I'd paint you easily.

If I were a poet,
I'd scribble you some lines,
Of flower days, and country ways,
and other loving times.

If I were an author,
Your story I would write,
On every page, a different age,
as you slept alone at night.

If I were a teacher,
I'd give you all I know,
Of Classic lit and Ancient script,
And language as you grow.

If I were your lover,
I'd love you till the end,
Kiss you first, and quench your thirst,
and hold you while you mend.

But I am an observer,
In your heart, always a friend.
And there I see, I'll always be,
Anonymous until the end.
I actually wrote this a very long time ago - February 2009 to be precise. But yesterday a good friend on here took a line from this and created a tribute piece of art as part of a quick comp - and I love it! And it reminded me that I love this poem so much, and it took me back. And it also made me realise that I actually feel this way right now in my life. I forgot.

I've been trying to write a piece to reflect my feelings - and this piece is it. I thought I had writers block, but it turned out I just needed to go back and remind myself of who I was before.

So yes - this piece makes me sad and happy at the same time. It's incredibly true. And I think it always will be :)

Thanks for reading AND check out the tribute deviation by ~im-not-sana
