Hey Twinkles!

Hey Twinkles,

remember when I

stood out in the rain,

for a moment with you

well, I’d do it over again.

And, Hey Twinkles,

our childish nicknames

like this one I gave you,

and ones you bestowed on me,

Well if you called, I’d emerge at once.

Hey Twinkles,

you once said that

our banter uplifts

your sallow, sunken days,

so tell me that hasn’t changed.

Listen to me Twinkles,

do you see me?

Are you ignoring me?

You know me best but,

do you wish you didn’t?

Hey Twinkles,

I wander through that carpark

like a petulant child,

left to her devices,

somehow I ended up lost.

And Hey Twinkles,

you were my light house,

Was the cyclone overwhelming,

that you had to stop signalling?

Hey Twinkles,

did I count on you too much?

Now I’m counting days ‘til

I can finally count to you.

Hey Twinkles,

seasons pass by

like a silent film.

I’m sitting on those bricks,

waiting for you

to meet me here again.
