-Lissa-

2 years, 2 months we have waited
but now our meeting day is set in stone
words fail me
and run from me
whenever I try to express how this makes me feel.
Yet, surely, you must know.
You must understand the excitement
that's building up within me
you must understand the huge swell of emotions I get
when I think of you and Debbie; next week I feel they will explode from me.
Yes, surely, you must know.
Because surely, you must feel it too.
And honestly, Sissy,
I never thought this day would come.
But you know what? It is.
See ya Wednesday.

-Running-

For my Debs. :)

So much time it has taken; so many days of conversation
but now I will step off a plane to you
and I know that no matter what
I will instantly love you; adore you,
enjoy every moment with you
because I have known you so long, you love me that much
and because we have learned each other’s ways inside and out.
These next 12 days of bliss are going to be perfect
and after all this time
a few more hours of flight
I can bear
because tomorrow morning
I will come down a walkway
and start running
to you.

No emotions
words
thoughts
can express
explain
tell
of those last
12 days
we spent together

though
'perfect'
'incredible'
and 'positively beautiful'
kinda fit them.

Funny.
That kinda describes you, too.

-Leaving-

I could stay like this forever
held safely in your arms
i don't think anything else
could make me feel
more loved and special

i listen to your breathing
and feel your chest rise and fall
and i remember that i won't
have this moment forever
so i cherish it
and try not to cry too loud

i won't let you hear me.

this will be forever locked
in my mind as
that feeling
of
complete
happiness.

Funny to think that
and yet cry as i write it down.

But my tears
are not only of pain
but of joy.
i'll miss you
but i know
i will always
have you there.

So, for now
i cuddle down
squeeze you tight

and kiss your cheek.

i am in your secure arms
for this
perfect
moment.
