The Facebook post it asked of me
Who would you want to see
Who would you want to call past or present
And ask, come sit by me
Who would you want to chat to about
Anything, this and that
Who would it be who said your name
As you chatted about this and that
It was you
Who sprang to mind
My darling, it was you
Of all those in this world
Or the next
My darling, it was you
I checked myself
Wasn’t that too shallow
I could pick anyone
But my darling
It was still you
Because you are not just anyone
To talk to you once again
Would bring me so much joy
And peace, I’m sure of that as well
Like a beach, a peaceful shore
I didn’t post your name of course
Under that Facebook image
That seemed a rather unwise recourse
My wish somehow diminished
And yet, and yet
It is you, my love
That I would sit next to
We’d talk of life and love and laugh
Just like we used to do.
