My head is filled
with memories
although they’re very few
swimming around
inside of me
are memories of you
The way you
touch and hold me
the way you
hold my hand
I think about you
constantly
I keep the image
with me for
as long as I can
My head is filled
with images
of moments that we share
the words that you have whispered
the way you show you care
I think about you constantly
every single day
I imagine I could
spend my life
loving you this way

You take me to a higher plane
A level that I never imagined
Where honesty
Integrity
Respect
Friendship
Are at the core
and
present every day
Every conversation
elicits a deeper
more profound
level
of respect
and admiration
You never make me
feel worthless
or
as though
you could do better
Your actions
back up your
words and
I believe
your desire
your want
are genuine
You make me
feel beautiful
and special
with a glance
no words
or
touching
is necessary
Yours eyes
reveal
your soul
and
I see me
in your eyes

Hold on
don’t let go
the spinning will stop
just wait
it will slow down
so you can see
Okay now
open your eyes
focus
what is there
do you know
what you’re looking at
Breathe
is it real
something tangible
to hold on to
or is it a past
that you can’t let go of
Are you
wishing things were different
that you could go back
and change
the outcome of your actions
so she was still there
Is there
still blame
are you still hurting
do you
wish she would see the light
and come back to you
It’s over
don’t bother
the past
is just that
there is no hope
to resurrect
what might have been

Wondering
about tomorrow
who I am
where I might go
Evaluating
what I want
who I am
where I’m going
Contemplating
adventures ahead
who I am
the direction I’m headed
Understanding
what I’ve gone through
who I am
how to get there
Seeing
the road I’m on
who I am
what is around me
Saying
goodbye
the past is the past
I’ve moved on
I’m happy with who I am

My eyes flutter
in the early morning light
as it dances through the trees
in my window
and across my bed
For a moment
in my still groggy, slowly waking mind
I believe you are next to me
I feel your arms around me
Your breath on my neck
Your fingers gently caressing my body
The sunlight dances
and wakes me from my groggy haze
I know you aren’t here
You’re not here touching me
Your breath is not on my neck
I close my eyes
Hoping to hold on to my daydream
I hear the door open
I don’t turn
for fear that I will lose the memory
Then I feel
your body
press closely against mine
your fingers
as they trace the outline of my breast
your lips
as they kiss the back of my neck
you
as you enter me
causing me to moan
and pull myself closer to you
The sunlight dances across my bed
As we move in unison
and my daydream
becomes reality
you are here
touching me
caressing me
your breath on my neck
Reality
is so much better
than a daydream

I think about you
Alone with your thoughts
Alone with your anger
Your frustration
Your disappointment
My heart hurts for you
I want to make things better
My arms ache to wrap around you
I want to love your worries away
My reality knows I can’t
My heart wishes I could
I’m here
I’m yours
I’ll walk beside you
I’ll hold your hand
We’ll make it through
To the other side
We’ll make it
To where rainbows fill the sky
To where the sun warms us
Where the moon romances us
We’ll make it
To where no one else matters
To where nothing can penetrate our joy
Where our love is enough
We’ll make it
Together
Hand in hand
We’ll make it
To where happiness envelops our every breath
Where nothing can tear us apart

I wait
You said you’d call
I wait
Expecting you to come through
I wait
Hoping this time will be different
I wait
One hour passes; then three
I wait
No more
