Days of you, often come to me, mornings unexpected, evening, you arrive dressed in memory, my eyes wash the day away, The picture is removed, suddenly I am there again, back on that bleacher, soft, slow rain drizzle, As you arrive, umbrella in hand, make your smiling face up to me, with a warm blanket on arm, I smile back to you, As we sit for the first time, you ask me if I am cold, I reply "yes", you smile, as you place your blanket, Around you and me, hugging me, warming me, you take my fingers, up to your mouth, You blow warmth on them, I see your breath in the mist, you kiss my hand, softly, I smile, you smile, Like a gentleman, you hold the umbrella, over my head and yours, never complaining or tiring, Moments like these come to me, just like a puff of sudden wind, across my mechanical mind, to draw me close to you. As I stand in my living room, on September 20th, 2009, you came knocking, I answered the door, I stopped what I was doing, and I stared into the sky, remembering you as you were, soft, kind, gentle, loving, Seems like yesterday in my heart, you were here on this earth, back at that night game, on the bleachers in high school. I look down at my hands, my eyes welled-up with warm tears, how I wish for your warmth, your kiss upon them, How I wish I could see you again. |
