Won't Let You Go by Shannon Noll

fragile

in the beginning
i

remember you,  your belly swelled up
like a bowl
and

it was christmas.  i loved you
(even then)

and i remember
holding you up
in the lonesome air

as it whistled around you, merrier   than me
while   strings of lights

blurred

out of focus
in the background. and

(now),

in the foreground,
i

see a continuation of     the blur,
of

the bokeh. i love   you
even more (today)   i
hope you know.

you  are (forever) my
sweet, inflated   christmas,

floating off    like a balloon.
