for this day i was given a gift. my eyes were allowed to feast upon you in full gluttony. to enjoy the features of your face, the worry lines, the eye crinkles when you laugh, the intelligence oh-so-evident in those dark and mischevious orbs. i just know your lips must be soft, they exude sensuality. i love the cadence of your voice. with and without the all of the funny imitations you do. just once i want that scottish one to say the words i long to hear directed toward me. or, i would even settle for elmer fudd to tease me into submission. i could satisfy my craving for you just by listening to you talk for days and days, about literally anything at all. recite the ABC's to me, i don't care, just let me hear your voice. shoulders strong, excitingly wide expanse of your chest. proud manly stance even when you think no one is looking. you are such a kind man. a good person and a great dad. i imagine in all my dreams what it would be like to be your partner. to be by your side on a front porch in a rocking chair watching the sunset many many years from now. to look around at the life we had with the memories treasured and stored for just those days. i wonder how you'd react to this insight i keep locked deep inside. i have looked at you and wanted you for so long that i can not remember a day you were not part of. long distance relationships are not my forte, especially when the distance is as great as this. love from afar when so near is a tough challenge, and we both know i strive to meet challenges with gusto. i love you, i do. faced it square today. i want you, i do. hope my eyes did not reflect that out loud today. i need to feel you breathing next to me. someday, i hope to have those hands and lips speak back to me sharing all i crave to hear. until then, i will love you as my friend and make that be enough. |
