I remember the watch I sent you
across an ocean of miles
I hoped you would think of me
whenever you looked at the time
each tick you heard
was my heart beating
beating with love for you

Although it's been a while
since I first sent the Christmas gift
and time has ticked by
I still think of that watch
around that masculine wrist of yours
and I want to slide my fingers
through the sun blonde hair on your arms
gliding my fingertips over your bare shoulders
with the destination of your soft lips

I wonder if that steamy water from the bathtub
evaporated beneath the crystal?
the watch was the last thing you had in mind
when you held me in your arms
for the first time

"Mistakes are the portals of discovery."

Okay I am getting a "huge" supply of those $10.00 watches, and will let you know what happens LOL

If it worked for you, one never knows it might work for me? Great write Victoria.

Sweet Vic....geez, gal....you do know how to instill that feeling into the reader.
Such a difficult thing to do:  describe feelings with enough passion to impact
another's feelings.  You do it....so well in fact.  Sighing at the 'gifts left behind'.
Another sigh....
Well, before I headed out on multiple errands, wanted to say i enjoy your
writing so.

Find a Wishing Star, sweetheart....make the Forever wish.
In hopes they may come true for you....

Victoria - Really liked this one. The last stanza was great, hoping that time stood still, that it wasn't important. Yet when you are apart all you can do is count the seconds. Nicely done.
