Come Back To Me

I have spoken to you for ages,

held you for eons, and

kissed you for centuries,

all in the span of a few seconds,

minutes, hours each day.

Each day my amnesia resets

as loneliness clouds the memory of you.

Not for long as you traverse space and time

to visit the playground of my dreams,

knowing it is there I leave the gate

unlocked and ajar.

My spirit awaits without question

on the swing for you to push me,

on the slide for you to catch me,

and on the see-saw for you

to bring me the rise and fall that matches

my breath at the sight of your smile.

I then awake with love's battery recharged

so that during my sleeping hours

of consciousness I may take the wheel,

driving home to your doubts that I am here;

ever listening for your voice

and whispering in your ear

that we need not ever despair

during our physical separation.

So hold fast my love to what cannot

be measured or seen as we repeat

our blessed litany of "Come back to me".

The day will come when our gazes

lock to only a code we know,

our footsteps cruise controlling

toward a predestined dance.

It will be here our familiar smiles

only known to us settle on our lips

before we can finally say

"It is so very nice to meet you...again".
