I heard your voice today
I caught your laugh
and imagined your throat
as it moved
I tasted your talk
and pretended you spoke
bright words beside me
a breeze kissed me
and I knew it was you
That cool wind in my hair?
It was only your fingers
I see the same shapes as you
the shapes of clouds
and souls
you are my mirror
I am your echo
and silences?
They say you are only sleeping
you are near

I heard your voice today
and I hear it now
quietly whispering in the air
one day
I will gently stroke
your throat and kiss the laughs
right out of you
one day
you will sleep in the silences
of my love...

Severn,
This is beautifully romantic! I especially like the part "and kiss the laughs right out of you" Sounds so romantic and so fun as well.

Whoa...now Severn, you are definately echoing my thoughts with this one. We need to get together and talk sometime. Nicely done!!

And since I must win, I tell you that I AM THE LUCKY ONE!
K- ever am I with you, always. Your words bring me that much closer and you know that I treasure each one, knowing that it was lovingly crafted by your hand.
And know that someday soon will be here before we realize it! (PLEASEPLEASEPLEASE!)
Love Chris
