I sit by the river In that spot where we sat Together One night, just us two Lingering kisses And gentle affections Welcoming breathes of acceptance I sit beside the water Watching it move in silence Still yet inspiring Healing even my thoughts As they miss you Wish for your presence Still waters Bless me with sprays Caressing my naked thighs Brilliant rays Soften my heart And I whisper to the light Longing for you Your touch, your lips Your tenderness I sit by the river Where no one goes Its quiet comforts me I listen to our song The one that reminds me In my heart You’re not gone Your love lingers on Always inviting, exciting Enlightening my thoughts Mountains rise up All around the river Shadowing hopes In hues of tangerine sunsets Calico rainbows And love that knows I’ll never go too far away From this place Where love once danced Through my soul Flowing in swells of graceful Wet clinging to my mind Repeating the words You told me Words I treasure Like gold This memory of you By the river Is like a star shimmering With life Brightening, energizing Shining, dazzling Hypnotizing in dreams Where I am with you Always together United by Our Creator
