Fledgling love

I miss you sweet boy
Your big round eyes
Your full teethed smile
The curve of your arm 

We weren't an all consuming fire
But a sweet little candle flame 
You were the one I wanted 
The warmth that melted
My freezer-burnt heart

You picked me up like
You'd never let me go 
Called me beautiful 
Funny and smart

Being seen by you 
Even just for a time 
Strengthened 
The invisible girl 
In my heart

I was angry 
that you let me go 
Now I am just sad
And nostalgic 
As I remember 
The fledgling love 
Of you and me
