Monday's Challenge.....Early Christmas

Longing for the eyes
that led me

Distanced
from the words
that feed me

Knowing you don't need me
but I need you

Waiting for your lips
to sing me simple sonnets
to share laughter
once again

The fun places
we were supposed to go
the things we could have seen
still fog up
the windows of my mind

Sometimes
I think I'm on my way
right to your door

Then I find myself
standing outside
like a stranger you don't know

I have a gift for you

A sort of forget me not

A crystal elephant
It is said to remind you
never to forget

But you should know me
and you should
be able to feel
the sincerity of my soul

Time twisted us
made us strangers
in a battle
no one can really win

Time

and faith
keeps my hope alive

I will always believe in you

I miss remembering you
I miss it when we shared stories

I will always believe
we were meant to meet

I remember
when we just shared anything

It was so cool to just say hello

Now I find myself
lonely for those words

Waiting for a voice
I have never seen speak

Waiting over here
in silence

Have I told you

lately
that I miss you?
