Alaska

On a pier in
Alaska
You shed a single
tear
And said you wanted to marry
me
We held hands in the darkest night of
nights
And you took my breath
away

With your
insistence
With your
confidence
With your
certainty
That I,
I should be
yours.

I had no answers for you
then
And, I still
don’t.

Just a simple
memory
Of a boy
On a pier in
Alaska.
