the silhouettes of oaks and palms
reaching to the watercolour sky
soaking in the last of the Sun's rays
the nocturnal wildlife awakening
sounds of chirping insects, the buzz of air conditioning units, the panting of a tired dog
as I hear my shoes flip and flop
i think only how this walk would be better as two
that on this walk
i
am
missing
YOU

she said

I'm an independent woman
She said
He reached out and she took his hand
I know
He said

I've never needed anyone else in my life
She said
He pulled her closer
I know
He said

I've got this, I can handle it myself
She said
He put his arms around her
I know
He said

I have lived this long alone and well
She said
They embrace tightly, no space between
I know
He said

Don't ever let me go
She said
Kissing him, they breathe each other in
I won't, ever
He said

if only you

if only you

if only you could see yourself
through my eyes
you might know
                                    you might understand
                                                             you might for one moment
comprehend
the stellar beauty
                              of
YOU

if only you could
                Feel
        how you make me
                  Feel

                                                                 the most wonderful ways,
                                                                                   a touch
a simple smile                                   your warm embrace
                         just a glance from across the room
only then would you ever....
but you could not ever Grasp
the depth
                                        the honest
organic
                                                                      ever-present
Love i have for **YOU
