It was the way he laughed 
And he laughed a lot,
A sparkle in his eye
As he watched us
Frolicking idiotically 
Around the living room.

Our endless debates
Around the kitchen table.
He was the black
To my white. 
Probing, pointing out,
Never resting my case.

Our times outside 
Indulging my endless
Stream of blather 
Asking me to consider
Other possibilities.

We learned together.
He made me who I am.
I miss him so much.
