A DAY IN THE LIFE OF LOVE

I walk outside in the sunshine of a beautiful,clear day

and I think of my sweet love.

I wonder if his day was as beautiful as mine.

If the warmth of the sun kissed his face and reminded him of me.

If a gentle drop of rain touched his cheek and reminded him of my tears.

Tears of happiness, at the chance to have a love such as his.

Tears of sadness, at the thought of being apart.

I wonder if a kool breeze had rushed past his neck,

giving him the sense that my lips had brushed him there with a kiss.

I wonder if snow blankets the ground where he walks,

caressing it in an embrace that makes his mind wander

to a place...safe within the depths of my arms.
