Love Through Space and Time

I stood with you at the intersection.

Just before we crossed over.

When the light changed,

You let go of my hand.

Now I hear your heartbeat

In the sounds of night.

And in the still darkness I wonder

Where you are.

I remember kisses

Falling gently on my skin.

And the promise that your

Love would last forever.

I close my eyes

And you are here.

The sound of my name

Can never be as sweet

When spoken

By the lips of another.

But when I open my eyes,

You are gone.

I search every face

For a moment of recognition.

A smile.

A nod.

But with a sad sigh

I continue alone

Waiting for your heart

To find me.

To once again hold my hand

As we stand at the intersection

Waiting for the light to change.

And this time cross over together.
