Anticipating your phone call…

Categories: Uncategorized

I had forgotten
how soft your skin was
And the memory of it
came back almost
too fast
as you grabbed me
unexpectedly to
sway to a
sentimental mood
electricity of days long gone
sparked between us.
I smile now
when I remember
holding your hand
in the car
You showed me our ring….
your ring.
as if to say to me…
“See…
see what you gave back?
see what you did?”
And I gazed upon it
remorseful
Remembering times…
long gone…
I lace my life
with traces
of your presence.
“HONEY BROWN WUZ HERE”
hoping that if you
stumble across my existence
one day
or happen upon
a road I’ve trod
You’ll hear
and see
and witness
the effect you’ve had on me.
I know the anticipation
of your phone call
is in vain
You’ll never hear my out
going message
“Who told you
that it was alright to love me…”
and KNOW I was calling out to you…
like I did in days past
You’ll never know that in order
to ensure comprehension
I punctuate my points with
“YA DIG?”
and when asked who I got
that from….
“Someone I knew in days passed”
I seek your softness
in others’ touch…
I taste for your kiss
on the mouth of another
I search for your soul
through someone else’s love…

I wonder where the days
passed to.
But I know we’ll never
be that way again.
