Description
Is it too much to hope for?To picture you where you are,
Within your room, lying on your bed,
Gazing up toward the ceiling,
Thinking of me,
The same way I think of you?
Am I hopelessly lost in whimsy,
To imagine that your lips part,
The same way mine do as you remember,
Passionate kisses exchanged between us,
Feeling them as though,
They just happened today?
Can I dream of such a thing?
Of our eyes meeting after all these years,
Gazing upon one another as though,
Nothing happened and we've been together,
Side by side,
The entire time?
Or is this doomed to failure?
Will we finally cross paths again;
Will I be too prideful to admit,
Or you to coy to allow our eyes to converge,
And speak the words,
We've been longing to hear?
Mine that say I love you, dearest.
That nothing has been right without you.
That countless nights have passed,
With me wishing to feel your body beside mine,
The same way I used to,
When we were one.
Yours that say you've missed me, love.
That every time you're lonely,
You feel me walk up behind you,
Touching your shoulders lightly,
Placing gentle kisses,
Upon your neck.
Would we confess a thing to one another?
That I've seen you in every other woman,
And you've seen me in every other man?
That we should have never parted,
Regardless of what fate,
Asked of us?
Or would it be the end, after one glance.
With my eyes cold and hurt,
And yours betrayed and angry.
Would the gaze shatter all hope,
Of us ever sharing the kinds of nights,
We used to share before?
I dare not hope for such a thing, precious.
Such dreams are made for beings,
Less cynical than you and I; less jaded.
We only have our memories now,
And the quiet fantasies,
We never confess transpire.
Lest the world know its error,
And mourn together with us.
Do I dare pray plaintively for you?
No, it is far too selfish for me,
To entertain the notion.
Even if I do anyway.

Thank you, my dear. I'm glad, and yet saddened, that others can relate. This is never a particularly lovely position to be in, but you're right, it's one we all encounter in some manner or another just the same.

A fate crueler than death at times. At least death would spare us the knowledge of what we were lacking.

How painful that was to read, but that is what makes it wonderful. They can't be kept apart forever can they? It must not be... must not.

Around you? I suspect it wouldn't be smart to become inebriated in your presence.

As I told Tam, I'm as harmless as a kitten now.
She countered with acknowledging the temperament of barn kittens.
I had to grant her that point.

It would be a mistake to forget who we are, don't you agree? For that is when our baser natures have the opportunity to slip out and surprise us in ways we never intended.

Truer words have not been spoken, Denise. Does this mean you're still wiping off any hint of perfume?

In this instance, I do believe men have emerged less jaded than I. But it's all relative, right?
Only a little? Lindsay, I do believe you are teasing me. Ah well, thank you for the just the same.
