I remember you for the way you looked at people, the way you looked a the water and the clouds, the way you saw the world.for the kidnbess and empathy you showed to people without discrimination, for the cute indignation you got when you started to feel impatient.
For the conversations going back and forth trying to build up, even when we had no idea ourselves.
(History, greenhouses, and tea,
All the ways we were trapped together,
And all the ways we were free.)
For your explanation of the Ottoman Empire, for your faith in the Kingdom of God,
For the moments we sat in silence,
And all the dreams we sat in together.
For gushing about Mongolia and Myers-Briggs,
For the coy smile you had when you spoke Japanese.
For goofy faces and our favourite places,
Until we meet again, this is how
I keep you in my heart my dearest partner and
friend,
Between you and me and God,
With love,
Mel
