I touched your face
~ today*
I drew
the fingers of
my right hand
down slowly,
gently along
the left side
of your
beautiful
face
I cupped your dainty chin
between thumb and forefinger
I willed with all my energy that
you might feel my touch and hear
my heart whisper your name -
"my darling little bird"
~
and I heard you softly say my name ...
"ant..."
"stay with me ant..."
"don't leave me, please..."
I heard you say that
~ today
when I touched
your beautiful face
in my favourite photograph of you.
When you can't be together - you try desperately to be "together"
