Often when I walk into the bedroom
my eyes would instantly fall
on a picture of us
and remind me of what we once
meant to each other.
Of how your touch,
your very kiss
would take me to heights
that I only dream of now.
Of how
you would sit
for hours on end
just holding me
and whispering
sweet love to me.
Of how
very much it hurt
to see you walk out that door
and into the arms of another.
Often, when I walk into that bedroom
I still feel your presence,
smell your scent,
feel your touch.
Yet I know
you aren't there.
Today, when looking through my mail
I happened across a strange looking letter
it was addressed to me.
I quickly opened it
and found three words written on plain
white paper.
The words were scribbled
barely legible
"I need you."
Below was scribbled your name.
Nothing else.
Then suddenly a knock on the door
I answer it
heart beating wildly
and it was You
standing there
tears in your eyes.
You begin to speak
my fingers come to lips
stopping you.
I replace my fingers
with my lips.
Several seconds later
we part
breathlessly.
I smile
I have missed you I say.
As I walk into the bedroom
holding your hand
I often see your picture
today
I don't.
I see you.
