Sweating, ticking
Wiping them on my pant leg
Take a deep breath
Place one foot in front of the other
Walk to your door
Lift my sweaty, shaking hand
It's so heavy
Knock
Wait a minute and start walking
Back
Trying to run to the car
That waits on your curb
Double parked
You yell hey wait
I turn
You run out of your house
In your blue bathrobe
I look around
Your neighbor the old woman gaps
You pick me up around the waist
Swing me around
Kissed my face, forehead, arms
I missed you
Where have you been
Oh it's good to see you
Don't leave me again
I love you
I smile
My stomach flips
You are so much stronger than before
Your eyes are bluer
Your hair is blonder
You are very handsome
Even if I squint hard
I can't see the way it used to be
Maybe that's good
Come in you say pulling me to the door
I don't think you notice
I haven't said a word
No matter how many times I see you
I'm still nervous
