Fortunate One

On one occasion I was told,
"You are a contact high"!
and more than once,
"I missed you":
so, I am The Fortunate one.

It is in my nature to
express my feelings...
caulk and tape dissipate;
would you expect less?
again, I am the fortunate one.

For what of the man
who can't explain his actions?
or, what of the man, not allowed?

I have been told
by more than one,
"I love you",
over and over, again.
Yes.....'tis I, who is the fortunate one.
