To the lady across the Tampa Bay ......
I thought of you today…..
As the sun woke me through the bedroom window, warming your empty pillow
As I filled my morning coffee, and I imagined your gentle lips sipping yours.
As the billows of steam slowly escaped the shower, imagining you through the glass, and joining you
As I carelessly opened the front door, imagining myself brushing back the hair from your face, holding your cheek for a moment before kissing you gently “till we meet tonight”, because goodbye is not a word we use.
As I stepped out into the brilliant sunshine to start another day alone, wishing I could see the sunshine gleaming off your hair, the sparkling reflection of a jealous Sun in your eyes.
As I made the morning commute to work, not really caring when I arrive back home, to the still emptiness that fills it without you there to beckon my return.
As I sat in silence eating my lunch, wishing you were here to share the meal with, the day with, the future with...
As I went back to work, knowing I was only partially through the day, your mind, heart, and beauty constantly invading my thoughts, the constant yearning to be with you, and imaging what it will be like when my mind adds in the soft moans from the previous nights activities, the smell of your hair as you laid your head on my chest in the darkness, and the soft gentle whisper of your voice….. today, before the final lunch bell tolled, I have learned the difference between lonely and longing ..... I cannot wait for this future to unfold :)
