I miss the little things about him,
the way he smiled when he looked at me,
and how there was never a quiet moment with him,
his life an endless menagerie,
and how he made everyone feel so special,
like in that moment only they mattered,
so strong yet so gentle,
and how he was loved by all and by all
was he revered,
I couldn't help but fall,
for his personality untethered,
but a jewel so bright couldn't just be mine,
and destiny wanted me elsewhere,
but never did I meet again a gentleman more fine,
than that gentleman of Delaware.
