important dates

How it all started:
To him and to me.

Nudged on by him
to relay a message overseas,
and,
to the future me
with hopes of keeping a memory
as I am not one for keeping diaries
(nor remembering things)
...and now it comes to four years of this

Well, hopes proven:
this has worked.
I remember who, and why.
And wish it be so ever still.

**
in the evening, as it was My time again
I thumbed through some writings
(November to November, to be precise)
equals a year

numbers, nothing but
letters, nothing but
pictures, nothing but
pens and paper, pixels and insinuation

but we all know:
November to November
-- what a year.
