The Next Time

The next time I see you

I'm going to tell you how

When things are dark and dismal in my world

I find you there….bringing me light and comfort

In a way that only you can do.

How in the moments we are apart

When time seems to stand still

I can close my eyes and see your smiling face

You're right there with me

Helping to ease the loneliness until we are together again

I'm going to tell you

How when a gentle wind passes by

It's like the feel of your fingertips caressing my cheek

Before sliding up to embed themselves in my hair

Or how I'll never be able to eat a strawberry

Or watch the night sky as it explodes with lightning

Without thinking of you

I'm going to tell you everything

How I never thought someone might want me…let alone love me

And make me believe it….until you

When you kissed me, breathing life and love into me

Jump starting my heart

The next time I see you

I'm going to tell you how

I always knew you were an angel

Before your spirit melded with mine...

When your invisible wings touched my soul

Caressing me with your love
