Being brave...just letting my words fall on the page. 
sometimes there are things 
that we didn't realize we miss 
until a sudden flash of memory 
recalls the reassuring sound of the sea rolling in 
and then there are people we miss
the people we want to hear from again
a need to see you in person
yet there's nothing I can do to return this loved one to my presence
perhaps a good memory can flood our body with a satisfactory moment 
to fill that longing and desire
but that's never as rewarding as the close physical embrace 
when arms wrap around warm bodies pulling each loved one nearer
as if drawing them within the whole
missing him
missing her
missing them
missing from my life
missing from your life
missing from theirs
but what is it I am needing you ask? 
confirmation?   
affirmation? 
or to hear you laugh again... 
a laugh tinged with excitement 
to hear my own laughter respond with joy 
that moment of unbridled happiness when two people share ecstasy 
when their lives sync 
to know with certainty that the one place I want to be is close to you 
to do nothing in particular accept enjoy each others company 
never be sorry for sharing happiness 
never be sorry for spreading joy 
knowing that your smile hides secrets 
that have hidden depths 
and once revealed 
there's pleasure to be experienced 
remembering a farewell kiss 
and longing to see you 
once more 
 
That's beautiful, Kay. Thank you for posting. xx
