I figure I should post all my Lisa poems in a row.
So I wrote this one 15 years ago and gave it to her for Valentine day that year.
67. how do I feel about you"

How do I feel about you?
the last 9 years we shared a word
the last 3 years on the phone
once a week
every day
every night
20 minutes
we walked through hell and we ran through heaven
together, you and me
7 boy friends and one me
where do I stand
9 years has past and 90 more to come
keep the faith
I can still remember
when we were just kids
Bar mitzvah, farm, baseball game,
Bon Jovi , Temple and my junior senior prom
those were the best times of my life
High school, college, law school, a lawyer
high school, college, a teacher
Chocolate, purple, little children, Reebok, Sony, jewelry,
red roses, Boyz II Men, hockey and football
Baseball, Nolan Ryan, Mets, basketball, Jason Kidd,
football, 49ers, Davis/Waters, Hockey, Penguins, Gretzy,
New Edition, Patient, Chinese food, salad, red
Likes to Life
broken wrist from ice skating, teeth pulled, my operation and now, now this mono
life is a game
this game is cruel
sure you had enough
keep the faith
I will always love you
Her voice, her hugs, her talks, a shoulder
I like to hold her
a story, a secret
let's keep it
She knows when I lie
she swore, she cried
I heard it all
from her weakest to her strongest times
a friend, a best friend
she heard my tears and
and she wiped away my fears
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah, Happy Birthday,
and Happy Yew Year
5-3, why can I not see
long hair, short hair, I don't care
He can take my vision
He can take my hearing
but he can't take you
a small package, a big motivator
A little pretty girl, a young mature woman
