    “You are the trip I did not take, you are the pearls I could not buy,
    you are my blue Italian lake, you are my piece of foreign sky.

    You are my Honolulu moon, you are the book I did not write,
    you are my heart's unuttered tune, you are a candle in my night.

    You are the flower beneath the snow, in my dark sky a bit of blue,
    answering disappointment's blow with "I am happy! I have you!”
    ― Anne Campbell
