He said
Longtime no see
She interpreted
I've missed you
He meant
Longtime no see
She imagined
a spring wedding
Dancing in the dark
No, because
it might be too liberating
it might mean tripping or
making a mistake
You won't
attempt the unknown if there's
a possibility of slipping
up
You only
deal in certainties
one foot after the other
in daylight
twenty years of longing
she leans back
his arms curl around holding
her against him, she releases twenty years of
longing to the wind and grabs from it a new breath
his face nuzzles
into her hair, fingertips
surfing over the waves of connection
she turns moulding her face into his
bare feet sinking
into the wet sand, tangled
talkative toes expressing love as
they breathe into each others bloodstream
curtained by windblown
hair their mouths merge, eyes
blinded as their tongues braille each
others senses, finding their way home
