Thinking About You

I was thinking about you last night
It was late and the windows were open
There was a breeze blowing off the gulf
And I could hear the ocean where it met the sand
I remembered your footprints as they led me down the beach
The wind in your hair a smile upon your face as you turned 
To see if I was following

I lit a cigarette and put down my drink
The ice tinkling in the glass
As I stretched out on white linen sheets
I thought about your smile
The silhouette of your body against the sand 
So soft and brown

I keep thinking about you baby
Wondering where you are
I keep thinking about you baby all night long

A most touching piece. This is written and expressed so well. I have really missed your poems! "The silhouette of your body against the sand So soft and brown" I like those lines because I can so clearly and vividly see this... wonderous. I loved reading. Thanks! Always,Laura
