I know you must go
But give me your hand
Must we keep serious
Let’s fly to a tropical shore
We’ll dance for an hour
With the sandpipers
Soar over the waves
With the gulls
And though my eyes
Are liquid sincere
I see the sadness of regret
In yours
I know the love
Is buried there
Piled high with commitment
And once more
I offer a rain check



Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.

Wonderful romantic write...ah, yes, rainchecks... I enjoyed this!

everytime I close my eyes, I see your face, I taste you on my lips...
every night I fantasize that I can feel you on my fingertips...

This is lovely... swallowing the pain of disappointment and offering only understanding... I hope she appreciates the gift you've given. *S*
