And In Hindsight

The need to meet you was mostly mine
or so it seems at this time...
Taking those long hour drives each way
never giving it a thought...because
I loved you. And you always surprised me
in some way...When I drove the distance
to meet you and found you practicing
your golf strokes ...then playing
a round of miniature golf afterwards
on that bright sunny day.
I was so embarassed, as I couldn't
even remember the last time I had played
and didn't recall the rules, but laughed
so much for the first time
in a very long while.

I watched a small child, a toddler,
do better than me, as my ball was wet
more times than dry. I landed
in every pond, puddle, fountain...
bounced over every wall, object
and if lucky would maybe find my way
into a hole. I stopped counting my strokes
after awhile and at times
would just carry the ball to the hole
and drop it in. You had to think me
a bit "nuts". Afterwards we sat
at a small tavern, made small talk,
held hands across the table...
I was so nervous and as I often do,
I talk with my hands and knocked over
my almost empty glass.

Then there was the time I came and
you asked me to get out of my car
and into yours and sped away,
not telling me where we were going.
It was another beautiful day
although any day with you
was beautiful to me. It was a surprise,
you said. We arrived at a golf course
and I tried my best to be your caddy.
At that point I would be your "anything",
just to spend more time with you...
Hardly anyone was on the greens and
I laughed at you when you lost the ball
in the brush and we couldnt find it ...
not even the next one that was flourescent
orange, could we find. And then there were
the times you lifted me off my feet
with your kisses, as you stopped
between shots to attend to me.

These were the times I remember the most
and in hindsight, you were right...
those unplanned, unexpected,
spur of the moment meetings were the best,
and the happiest of times...
and if I could, I would want them
to occur over and over again
not just in my mind, but in real.

I have never taken anything in life
for granted, especially you...
these are my words, in 20/20 vision
and in hindsight, true to my heart,
to be pressed between pages of my mind
and left now for you,
as a token of my love...

I read and felt your happiness then the heaviness of my heart as the joy left you with nothing more than memories.
