Allow me this

I know
you’ll say
with a pat of
a reassuring hand
“It will come again,
It will.
There will be another.”
And while
you mean well
and I even believe you
this morning
my skin
is longing
to be touched
and lightly,
my lips
to be brushed
with a kiss, sweet
and my eyes
to be held
in a gaze beyond
fondness, stirring
shared.
Allow me this.
For I am open
but missing,
not “him”
more than 
another 
for 
a deep breath
of love’s burning
smoke.

  1. Let's add that to the list of: "Ideas that would never have occurred to me in a Million Years". Hmmph. I can't imagine it, but maybe I should try? EEEEEEEEE.
