This poem has an interesting story behind it.
The date I have on my poems are the dates which I had origenally posted them. I wrote this one back when I was a junior in college.
This poem came to me in a dream.
One day, as I was waking up, I saw words in my head moving down, like credits roling in a movie. It was going too fast and I couldnt stop the words. The next morning I woke up and was prepared. I had my computer on over night and I couldnt remember it all but what I could remember, I wrote down. The 3rd day, I didnt move when I woke up and I layed there, memorizing each word, line by line and this is what came to me. I wrote-gave it to my college friend Jill who I was close to but just like most of my friendships, time passes and things changes and we dont talk any more.
16. I Have Some Things That You May Want

Jonathan
I found your soul that has been missing for years
I found your empty heart, let me fill it with love
here is a lucky star, put it around your neck
do you see that rainbow, it is for you
here is my hand for you to hold
we can guide each other through good times and bad
here is my shoulder for you to cry on
here is my other, you can keep on crying
here is my ear for you to bitch to
keep on talking, I have my whole life
here is a smile to reinsure you
give me a touch, so I know you are smiling
here is a hug to cheer you up
don't worry, I will always be here
here is a kiss, I love you
for ever, we will be
most of all
here is a friend, you have me for life
