You & Me Now
Posted on | June 20, 2009 | 15 Comments
It’s night and things have maybe stopped
spinning for a while.
You walk over to me, arms bare.
Anything can happen now; everything is.
But when come to me in your red t-shirt
in the semi-dark; when you reach out,
and fold your around my shoulders,
I can feel the heat of you through the cotton,
and I can hear your heart, and
even if we lose everything we’ll still be rich
because of this
the way I can press my face against your chest
and feel like I am home.

Sometimes you really make me want to be married again. Sometimes.

Breathless.

You know sometimes it feels as the night is the only time that I have for Beautiful. It is when the world leaves me alone and everyone stops demanding from me. It is the great escape. It can be as beautiful as any sunset or sunrise. Cool damp air makes the closeness that much more appealing. Sometimes outside on the swing at night, talking to her, the world slips away and she is everything to me. I dream she lays her head against me and falls asleep.

I cried. this was so truly from a beautiful heart. I know you will be okay, and attract much positive.

You make it easy to remember that — while each ended rather badly — both my marriages had breath-taking moments of transcendent joy and wondrous comfort. You help me remember to be mindful of the luxurious now: not because it is so fleeting, but because it is all I ever have … except when someone like you is around to write with such fearsome precision and courage.
