d e a r e s t   j o h n n y

dearest johnny,
it's no secret
your mind has captivated
my heart which is hard to covet

opened my eyes
to a world that
i never knew that existed

dearest johnny,
you've changed me
drastically is what they say
but you've cast
a giant shadow on me

made me realize
the hope of love in the midst
of a pool of fears

dearest johnny,
i noticed
that your noise is empowering wisdom
that comes with the way you deal
with words of your heart,
of your mind...
i can't help but wonder
on how powerful your silence could be...

you drive me
to think about perception
your silence is deeper than
the golden of words...

dearest johnny,
you've found me
i was hiding within the walls
lurking beneath my pains
of regret, of despair

the light to my dark
hallways of thought
my guide to freedom of mind...
dearest johnny,
you've found me...
    ... thank you for your time.

most especially to John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls,
the irrepressible genius of human emotions in prose.
