Where You Are

When I feel most alone
At three AM
Listening to the hum
Of the window fan

The hum becomes your voice
In my ear, almost a coo
Telling me you're with me
Your presence almost palpable

Riding in the car
Past endless streams of cars
Honking, cutting in and out
Building rage

I've become most fortunate
I flip down the visor mirror
And you're in the reflection
Your smile radiating down

There's no highway
But a beach
No traffic, no crowds
No noise but the surf

I'm tanning in the warmth of you
Luxuriating in the sparkle of your smile
Feeling the softness of you
Watching your neck pulse

Where you are
Is never a question
You're always with me
There to listen to
There to comfort me
My be all, my end all

I need no stimulant
No aphrodisiac
No massage
All tingles I feel
None imagined
All real

God's in His heaven
All's right with the world
I can want no more

The first duty of love is to listen.

Beautiful Sir, believe me when I say no greater admiration can you bestow than to read of the depth of your love.

Bill,

This is excellent! I don't often say that, so please know that it is meant sincerely. This is wonderful writing, sir.
