Lingering

I will love you

As I did yesterday

Unrestrained, seeking, lingering

You opened the door

Just a crack

I suck in the air from the other side

You are there

I feel you scent

-Open a little bit more, my dear.

I promise not to intrude

Let me see a finger, a toe, a glimpse of your smile

-Talk to me, my sweet

I’m standing right here

I will listen with a timid ear

Reply with a soft voice

Thus I will love you-

Until I love no more

Unconditionally, persistent, warm

I wait here

Maybe we will meet again

You wander around on the other side

In your own world

I know you are there

I hear your voice.
