But the moment never lasts
and leaves me wanting

I smell you in the perfumed breeze
of juniper and lilac
I feel you in the summer rain
cold, yet warming to the soul

Distance increases want
as I love you from afar
waiting patiently for your return
**** the pain, with moonshine from a jar

I taste you in the pinot grigio
served at dinner time
I sop gravy with crusty bread
with you on my mind

Car door opens and chimes
I come running out the door
scoop you in my arms
a kiss to make up for lost time
