You are looking for me and I will know you when I see you…

© 2013 Sandra Jean-Pierre

I think of you now,
often.

in the dim and dark
stretches of the night

when my back needs
rubbing
or my soul
needs consoling,
when my lips
need you near to kiss.

I imagine our
days,
filled with
small talkings,
big love
and unspoken
knowing nods
of the disease
that we both
refuse to acknowledge,

that keeps my
arms from
wrapping around you
fully.

Often
I think of you now,
when I am picking out
my outfits,
sure
you’d be happy
to see me
in anything my
heart desires.

I think of your smile,
your mischievous smile,
welcoming me
home,
out,
in our bed.

Often,
I wonder why it is you love me
and I can see your
look of bewilderment,
questioning how could you not
and
my heart melts.

Often,
I think of you often…

Though I’ve not
met you
yet…
