Crying With the Winds
You'll be disappointed
to know
that I tried not to cry
but failed.
When your voice on the phone
faded away
I missed you even more
and remembered
being pinned down and covered
by your loveliness
only one week before.
The warm feel of you
on my chest, stomach and back
enveloped my heart and soul
in the most loving
and caring way
that I can't help
wanting you here again
right now.
I'd almost fallen asleep
when the winds began howling outside
and I did a little crying
on the inside.
I so wanted to be
pinned down by you
decades ago,
only to find out that
our love was real all along
and my heart aches now
wanting to beat next to yours.
Our hearts will be one on one again
and we'll be very thankful
on that day and others to follow.
Until then we'll talk and text
and soon I'll happily hug you again
and let you pin me down
in your loving embrace
while I stare into your lovely face.
I'll try not to cry
with these winds
for much longer,
but will instead pray
to see you in my dreams
and trust in God that you'll be okay.
