First Fight

But tonight when I said
I miss you
You insisted that I only miss the ‘idea of you’
And it cut so deep.

It’s all just Words
you whispered into my ear from a thousand miles away
throwing my statement back at me.
Forcing me to look at myself in
a new and uncomfortable way.

With tears streaming down my face
I tried to justify my bad behavior.

Trembling hands reached for you.
Forgive me? Rang through my soul
echoing off the walls and into your heart.

How can it be more real than this?

I feel you around me.
Your warmth soothes the aches in my bones.
Your presence calms the longing in my heart.
When I go to sleep at night,
I hear you breathing next to me.

Your lips are soft and I yield to them.
Your hands are strong and I give myself to them.
Your need is fierce and I submit to it.

Laying before you,
Hoping it’s more than just Words…
