Red Omara Poet Free verse

I Saw Her Only Yesterday

I saw her only yesterday.

She was as lovely as she's ever been.

And happy.

And, as I do each time we meet, 

I tried to imprint on my memory

everything I saw and heard that is her.

We had coffee and talked,

about me,  

about her.

And about the man she loves

and whether she will marry him.

We touched a little while we talked 

and kissed when we said goodbye.
 
She said she loved me

and I said I loved her

then watched her leave,

wondering

if I would ever see her again.

Andrea Dietrich April 28, 2013 at 8:58 PM It is getting difficult for me to find new poems of yours. Of that other favorite list of yours. Do you recall one of them I had missed seeing?

Andrea Dietrich April 28, 2013 at 8:57 PM nope, REd, I don't learn my lesson with my sun god!!! But I keep away from him between 10 am and 2 in the afternoon and only have time to go out these busy days maybe twice a week at the most in summertime.

Delysia Hendricks April 28, 2013 at 5:51 PM Beautiful, my friend, as only you could pen it. Don't wonder whether you'd see her again. Think positively and chances are you'd meet up again. I'm seriously rooting for you. :) Licia
