Breathless Impatience

 

Patience…it’s a virtue. or so I’ve been told

A virtue that I am obviously devoid of

For I find myself longing for what I must wait for

Time seems to stand still at moments

Laughing at me, while I try in vain to make it move faster

 

I sit staring into the past.

Looking for comforting thoughts

All around me surreal emptiness

And with that comes the aching of my heart

 

At night as I lie in bed …like a thief I steal a moment from the past

Slipping silently past the sentries of my memories

Smiling as I take the memory and hold it close to my heart

All my senses replayed as I watch with happiness

The two of us together

 

Watching in my minds eye as I touch his face

Tracing the outline of his jaw

Looking into those dancing hazel eyes

My hand trailing through his hair

As he smiles at me

 

Closing my eyes to remember the touch of his lips

The sweet taste of his kiss

The pounding of my heart

As he pulled me close to him

Wrapping his arms around me ..keeping me safe

 

I drift thru the gates of slumber a smile on my lips
Only to awaken in the morning alone

The constant pulling at my heart

Never-ending …timeless aching

Knowing that only his presence will ease my pain

 

When we talk…his voice soothes me

I can hear the smile in his voice

Feel the laughter as he speaks

This I could hold onto forever

But time flies fast and we part grudgingly

 

More memories to gather and cherish

As the clock ticks in the silence that now fills the room

Within his words I find my strength

“We will be together..this I promise”

“I love you with all my heart”

 

So as the days go by and time plays it’s games

I sit with breathless impatience

Waiting for the one I love

To become more than a memory that I cherish

To stand before me so that once again he will embrace me

Letting me know that I will be there forever…and I will breathe at last.
