These Times

These Times

i would never forget the times
i am begging for you to stay
i am grateful for those times
you left me waiting; uncertain
i know how your heart breaks
more than mine
but that taught me
love’s greatest lesson
to look beyond what eyes can see
to feel loved beyond
hugs and kisses and warm embraces
especially at times when you are near me
yet a single glimpse is not possible
these times when love is love
regardless of and no matter what
these times when love is love
even if it felt like a glassful of water
splashed, suspended in the air
not knowing when to fall
not knowing how to land
unbroken
unshattered
unhurt
these times.

    Marvelous as usual but the perfection of the idea that love is so free defying gravity, time and space makes my heart swell and then the hope that it will remain forever suspended and the fall, the splash, the evaporation will never be!

    to look beyond
    to feel beyond
    — love the repetition

    yet a single glimpse is not possible

    these times when love is love… 

    these times when love is love…
    — love the repetition. 



    not knowing when 

    not knowing how … 

    these times.
    — love the repetition.

    I do remember all those times when my hubby was out of state and out of the country too.
    And yet true love makes things work as easy as water flows 😀 💕
