I saw you
today as I never saw you before. There was something familiar; something I’ve known before. I was aware of how close we were at times; even when our bodies were in different rooms. We wanted to be together; we enjoyed being in one place. How awesome is it, when any reason to reach out and touch the other, will do? I looked at your hands and wished it would find its way to mine. I felt like a youth, not knowing if I should reach out and draw you closer. I observed your mouth, wandering how it would taste this time. I have known you for some time; shared our lives, treasures and friends. Still… so much of you remain a mystery; there is so much I would like to know. Then at times, we are so familiar; knowing exactly how the other would respond. Funny how the little things of endearment have reduced in significance; become predictable. They say as couples grow older, they start looking the same; what a pretty boy I could become. I have observed couples that have been together for a long time; and I, am ready for that. I plan to hold your hand someday, while clutching a walking stick in the other. Maybe I’ll be lucky; healthy enough to stand on my own. Though I find your physical pleasant to gaze upon; I am glad I fell in love with who you are. See, your beauty I expect to mature, while your essence should continue to remain the same. So much of you I have not yet come to know; providing me with adventure to occupy my mind. So it is settled then; it is quite possible for us to grow old together and remain the best of friends. Now, you might think that there is still much time left; but there is not. We experience time relative to our age, with time flying past with increasing speed. Let us consider our love and the value of it, now. My love for you is enough fuel to get me through a life time or two. |
