love letters

You were like being swept off my feet
so abruptly
but instead of falling
I found myself dancing on stars
and by all means
not alone.
Held tight by arms and hands
but drifting
and all of the sudden
free from what I've known and predicted
in absolute bliss.

Snow falls
beautiful with meandering grace
I watch from my window.
Sky: gray- hint of blue
I become absorbed
in missing you.

You are my love.
My life.
How I miss you so.
The minutes turn into tears
by the dozen.
How I long to fall into you
to feel your arms
and lips
and be lost in us
You are my destination.
These days are trivial
meaningless
except for the moment
at the end of the day
when I mark one more box off the calendar
putting me closer to the square
filled with your name.
