::: Perfect As Is :::

You show me
La J****
and tease me
with that place
making me wish
I was in CA
you give me a link
I click and see
your waterfront view
and your new
condo
I imagine inhaling
the healing sea-side air
but it’s not the same
as being there

you say you hope
that I’m well
but what the h*ll
how can I be
you’re not with me
you tell me of the sun
over where you are
in San Diego
but don’t you know
it’s still chilly here
and must you
mention
the vegan food
and wet my
appetite for
what tastes good
is that really
what you should do
make me think
of San Diego
and you

my joy
is my
contentment
so I will try
to Love NY
and the bit
of sun
I get here
and how
the seasons
change
but I will never
change
and you must
never change
because you are
perfect as is
you are just
perfect as is.
