My feet feel the shudder as the engines surge to life
And the sounds of the city fade away.
I stand at the railing and feel your arms around me,
Your nearness making this the perfect day.
Your chin rests on my shoulder; your tongue teases my ear;
Your sweet lips whisper warm against my cheek.
Then someone bumps against me, reality intrudes,
And sudden sadness makes my knees go weak.
For only the sun’s warmth caresses my face,
And the wind makes my breasts go taut with need.
I can’t reach out and touch you; you’re much too far away.
I miss you, love, so much I cannot breathe.

If I could share your breathe
then no air would be left
But if we chose to sing our song
then both our worlds would then belong
One day I hope you'll have, someone to love you so
But then I wish and hope he'll say
"I love you, don't you know"

Lots of love and hugs
