It felt like forever
I craved you
Wanted you so badly
Lusted after you
Fantasies of the flesh
Never fulfilled
Time has passed
We may never meet again
But when I think of you
Your eyes and your hands
Your voice whispering to me
I wish you only
Peace
We found each other
One night so many moons ago
I ran through the city
I ran to you
My friend, my lover, my strength
I ran into your arms
And without saying a word
We loved
The last time I felt your lips
Your strong arms lifting me off my feet
I never wanted to leave
I never wanted you to leave
But you placed me back down
Gently
Finally
Firmly
And left
I was in my own world
Comparing apples and bananas
And the yellows of cheese
When I heard a voice
Directed at me
Searching for the source
Your voice
Greeting me
I looked your way as
Your eyes captured mine
You smiled
Unguarded
I smiled too
I saw you and wanted to say hello
But instead I looked the other way
I longed for you to greet me by name
But all we did was pass each other by
I turned the corner
As you did the same
And you caught me
Watching you
My face burned red
As my heart skipped
Its rhythmic beat
I could do no more
Than turn away
Is this really happening?
Could this moment really be true?
Your scent excites me
I want to be with you
In that moment of your eyes
Meeting with mine I felt
That leap of joy and
Knew my heart
Would never
Be the
Same
In seasons past we sat and talked
About life and death and everything
We spoke about the future and we laughed
Enraptured by what we both had found
Never enough, always wanting more
Our virgin hearts so unafraid
Of hurt or pain of going there
Oh! How my heart bleeds in my chest
When all I see now is an empty chair
I asked
Do you love me?
You asked
Would you believe me?
I asked
Would you like to kiss me?
You answered
I wouldn’t like to stop
Lady in black
Lady divine
You look amazing tonight
Lady be mine!
You over there!
Looking so grand
Yes, I will be yours tonight
Here is my hand!
Kiss me awhile
Gentle and deep
Is this really happening –
Am I asleep?
We are awake!
Joyful, sheer bliss
Hands, so soft, touching my face
Share a sweet kiss!
Now to go home
Time to confess—
You were beautiful tonight
Such a nice dress!
