Sitting in the car,
Winters cool darkness falls all around me ,
And once again,
Like so many times before,
I look over to see you at my side.
You catch my gaze,
And for a second we search each others eyes.
Each knowing the other remembers,
Yet both wrapped in the pretense,
That no one does…
The warmth of those familiar arms around me,
Helps deplete the cold of a world I cant escape.
In each others arms once again,
we both smile.
The brightness of that solitary smile
Brings light to the dark memories
Of a past that still lingers…
And at your long forgotten touch,
My heart skips a beat.
I run my hand along your face slowly, softly…
As if upon my touch you will disappear,
Leave me with this memory …
Longing for the warmth that’s in your arms.
My eyes are filled with question,
If not utter disbelief…as you
Pull me closer
Kiss me softly
Whisper I love you
Lost in your eyes,
I try to hide the need for you in mine…
Held captive by a single moment in time
And the memory of so many others.
I wonder why we can never work this out.
If I love you
And you love me
Then why can’t we be?
Why do you always leave…
When you know that all over again
Another darkness… another November
That we will find our selves
Looking into each others eyes
Each knowing the other remembers,
Yet wrapped in the pretense
That no one does…
