~~This isn't really a poem, just my thoughts...but I had to get them out~~

The phone rang
              my heart skipped a beat...

Could it be?
            Do I dare hope?

            I longed for the voice on the other end to be yours...

              You, calling...

            Calling to tell me that, yes, you do love me, too...
      that you're sorry you couldn't say it back....
that fear overtook you..

Calling to tell me that before you got on that flight, more than anything, you wanted me to know...
                that yes, you do love me, too...

And I know I told you that love is like a gift, you can just receive - you don't have to give anything back in return...
                  but I was wrong.

          I need to know that you love me, that you feel the same....
                  if you do....

I held my breath as I answer the phone...

           More than anything, I wanted it to be you...

This is a poem. Thoughts organizing into a stream of love and beauty.

Julie - sometimes love hurts, doesn't it?
Thanks for replying...

Eric - thank you so much - coming from you, I take this as a great compliment - your words always inspire and touch me.

B.C. - too many times I left things unsaid, and then once I said it, he couldn't say it back!! That's not FAIR!!!

Oh well - there's always tomorrow...
Thanks for replying...

I enjoyed reading your words, which have full right to be called a poem I think.
