I spied you in the crowded street,
Before the rain came down.
I knew it was you, I could see your face,
Before you turned around.
❤
You hurried for cover under a tree,
I chased you in the deluge.
Sneaking up behind your perfect form
To join you in your refuge.
❤
You sensed me there, I heard you gasp,
Before I stretched my arms out.
You stepped back as if you’d seen a ghost,
Resisting your urge to shout.
❤
You haven’t changed or aged at all
I smell your familiar scent.
I need to have you in my arms,
I yearned for your consent.
❤
I came closer to you, held your face in my hands,
You pushed me out of your way.
I had so much to give to you.
I had so much to say.
❤
Your lip starts to tremble from the cold,
Is that fear I see in your eyes?
I pull you close to warm your chill.
It’s been years since our goodbyes.
❤
The heat between us warms the damp air,
The relentless rain keeps pouring.
I try to kiss you, hold you tight.
You glare at me, abhorring.
❤
“It’s been too long since you left me,”
You spat the words in my face.
I had given up on her and our love,
I had vanished without a trace.
❤
“I’m sorry, my love. I’ve come for you,”
My lies fall off of my lips.
I had actually returned, to meet someone new,
This was one of my last trips.
❤
There was a reason that I found her, though,
In the crowded street of the fair.
Fate has brought her back to me,
Suddenly she was there.
❤
I leaned against the tree trunk,
I struggled for words to tell her.
She shivered and shook; an emotional wreck.
I lied, “There has been no other.”
❤
We embrace with love, we remember our past,
The thunder rolled from above.
Her soft lips, her body, her soul,
She has always been my true love.
❤
She surrendered to me, we renewed our passion,
God, I missed her so very much.
I exploded in our inferno of lust.
Her kisses, her merciless touch.
❤
When the clouds broke apart and the sun shone,
She whispered, “I need to go now.”
I held her tightly, loving her madly,
“We’ll see each other somehow”.
❤
As she made her way back down the street,
Tears streamed within my soul.
She made me feel like so wonderful.
She made my body feel whole.
❤
I never saw her face again,
Once she slowly strolled away,
I heard she had vanished from our hometown
The papers said she died last May.
❤
I know it was her, her sweetness, her body
We made love and fell so very deeply.
We’d said one, final, amazing goodbye.
Beneath that Sycamore tree.
