You and Me
By
Michele C. Long

As you freely come and go,
Each time seems all too short.

Not knowing if it’s forever,
I hold you quietly in my heart.

I go about my life expressing many thanks,
For it being full and complete.

One day,
You walk back in the room

I sense your presence,
And turn to see your smile.

As I smile in turn to you,
All the effervescence of my being

That lay dormant, waiting to be aroused,
Burst into bubbles of intoxicating love.

And, in this moment
I am truly full and complete.
