The T. Collection – A Retrospective

STANDARD OF MEASURE

I love you - you needed to

Hear it – I needed to

Say it - were your words

Such a softness of voice

Incomparably yours

Decades later unparalleled

By any of the others

I had never liked the

Sound of my name until

Your lips gave it a tenderness

None had ever sought to express

And I realize

You are the standard against which

I measure every single

Other lover
