its 2:00 am.
I hear it in his voice, on the
phone I feel the need of a lonely
man, he doesn't know I am feeling
the same way too.
[but he knows me like that]
He breathes in ...sighs "I don't mean
to wake you baby, but I had to hear
your voice".
[his voice still stirs my soul]
you've been on my mind,
I am looking at your picture, your
beautiful, so beautiful, I am sorry I hadn't told
you before, do you miss me too?
[yes I do I reply ]
I take in each of his words like its
breath to my lungs.
[I ask him what's on his mind]
he says "I wish you were here with me".
what we had was deeper than,
so profound, we never spoke of it
we just knew it has always
been.
I close my eyes against the dark.
remembering.he left to die like a Injured cat
waiting for words that could bring him
back to life, I had none, I had none at
that time .
but not this night, no not this night,
he becomes silent then says ,
can you talk to me until I fall asleep?
can you tell me, let me hear it in your voice
how much you love me?. how you can't
live without me?
I need to pass this night away. its
too lonely, it holds the darkness like a shrine of
silence around me and I am afraid,
I am afraid .
[I hold back tears],
weaving in and out of each other, threading
our life together, he is my comforter,
lover and friend.
I am loving him tonight, like it's my
last days on earth not his.

















write, luv! M.
