The Joy of Reconnecting

He laid there staring in outer space
His face showed no kind of emotion whatsoever.
She was confused as to what he was thinking, 
Suddenly her heart started to race, 
She calmly took a slow deep breath
Slowly enjoying inhaling
The scent of the disinfectant  
Soaring high in the air surrounding them

He sits up reached out and held onto her hand
And immediately she went into his arms delightedly. 
They hugged and squeezed each other tightly 
While the tears from their eyes flow down their happy faces. 
After a long hugged and everlasting squeezed
They finally freed themselves.
I knew you would come he said 
With his lips quirked upwards in a joyous smile 
You know me well she responded
I would never give you the pleasure
Of dying without saying good-bye
  
She threw her arms around his neck 
And leaned against his chest for support 
Time stood still and the silence engulfed them.
He could hear the pounding of her heart.
The kiss deepening until they both pulled away
In breathless wonders
