The ice melts and
Droplets of cold
Descend the outside
Of my cocktail glass.
You are in my mind –
Black dress, high heels
Hair pulled back.
Elegant. Happy.
The sweet sound of
Your voice as you
Share your day, the
Stunning sight of
Azure eyes alive in
Peace and comfort,
A smile hinting
at laughter.
Do you remember
that same moment?
Do you remember the
Warmth that flowed
Smooth as bisque,
As natural as the
Pinot Noir that slid
From glass to lips?
Do you remember
Soft music playing,
Reminiscent of
Happier times?
Do you remember
A dance and dip?
How it felt to be
Held and heard?
You are in my heart –
As you were then and
As you are – now only
Twenty feet away but
Feeling like a million
Miles and a lifetime.
Do you remember the
You that I held and
Told the You that I
Want in my life?
She visits late at
Night, sometimes
In my dreams,
Silently saying
I love you with
Kisses that
Whisper –
I miss you.
I need you.
I want you.
The ice melts
While I wait.
