Where One Is

When the last leaf
comes out of the table
and the kids have all
gone home,
when the house echoes
warm in the twilight
and the scents
of the morning’s baking
fade with the coming dew,
I’ll turn to you then,
smile just as now,
and you will smile
your love of me,
whether you are there
or I am there;
where one is,
we are.

I love you
With a thousand hearts."

What an incredibly beautiful, hauntingly tender statement of love. *S* So many couples find themselves at odds whenever the nest empties... you've shown a couple complete in each other... and the picture is lovely beyond words. *S*
