I found and read a site online today
And there was posted a journal
With tidbits of his life
He wrote of many things
that have happened since we'd met,
He wrote of things including happiness
And even bits of strife
Somehow...
I wish I could be something simple
Something - there
... A picture,
...... a post card,
............ a memory
Somehow...
I wish I could give birth
To repeating incessant dreams
And relive those moments hidden in me
I remember a time -
Too short and very sweet -
When an innocent boy took my hand
...and my heart
When we laughed and tickled
...and wrestled on the bed
When he left ...
And how it tore me completely apart
We watched anime and went to the aquarium
To watch the fishes and dolphins at play
I looked for much more that there was
I wonder - Did he ever know...
All he had to do was ask and I'd stay?
We ate while talking and laughing
- Hardly polite, but we didn't care
For once, amidst all the hustle & bustle
- The Windy City wasn't that loud
Driving around downtown that day
I was completely absorbed in his words
While the radio replayed the 80's
- In the distant background
Sometimes when I'm sleeping
I am there ...
The vision is so real I can see,
...I'm there, I can hear
......I'm there, I can almost taste
My heart was beating so quickly,
And my lips?
They quivered in anticipation,
- Fruitlessly ... a waste
I wondered briefly
... what was so wrong with me
That the boy didn't want
... what I so desperately needed
But then I realized - to my womanly dismay,
He WAS just a boy
And desire?
It had not yet properly seeded
So I let him go,
With his innocence in tact
And I resisted the urge
To force my longings on him
We smiled, and hugged,
... and even shook hands
~ My God! ~
I'll never forget going to Chicago
... On a whim!
