To Know She Still Loves Me
To Know She Still Loves Me
Was years ago meant to be an introduction
To thread a line; between, to one day reconnect
Was it chance that she and I had such affection
That all these years later, I would never forget
How the warmth of her smile still caress’s my heart
In fevered rhythm; thoughts, she is here in my arms
How our fitting bodies, now memories apart
Yet, these separate paths, bring me cause for alarm
A single note, I sing; through winds of changing times
A curious plea; will she hear my song, in tune
Will I hear an echo, second verse, sung in kind?
Or will I hear silence, as she fades ‘way, from view
As I lay here in wait, to her window she came
With a warm greeting smile, we had talked through the night
She spoke of happiness, and with joy: her new name
Then she asked about me, and I told her of mine
As the years have past by, through her window I’ve seen
What I know I have dreamed, so I leave her alone
A family of four with a home as pristine
But sometimes I see her, in the window, postponed
Till, one night she called me; silhouette in the door
Outstretching her arms, in an outline of sadness
And the closer I came, so much color; restored
I was lost in green eyes, in her safety. I nest
As our magnetic lips reminisce of our past
And just as I pictured: this, -our puzzle complete
Yet, without any words, like a dream it can’t last
A woman needs family, and so, she retreats
All my selfish desires will never take her away
For the chance that she, and I have this affection
I know that I love her, and that she feels the same
Was years ago meant, to be, an introduction
