Whispering breezes sway through my hair, touching my skin like soft kisses. Lifting my face to the warmth of the morning sun, I breathe deep in all it's splendor it gives. I close my eyes from the brightness. The sun beaming upon my face, as I hear the rushing of the stream behind me, dancing over the smooth stones and peebles. The geese are flying over head anticipating the snow. The smell of a passing rainfall fills the air. I drop my head further towards my back to relish in the sun's warmth even more. My mind slips into a peaceful daydream. I begin to reminesce about you and our time we spent last summer. 3
Your strong arms reach out and pull me close, comforting me while embracing all of my worries to be. Softly you caress my face with a single touch of your hand. As you lift my chin towards your face, I am sad. Tears pool within my eyes, suddenly, a single teardrop graces my cheek, acknowledging that our moments are few. You will be leaving today, a time when God shows his colors among the trees and the valleys. A time when my heart shall become still. The air will soon turn colder, and my love for you shall be shadowed with such sadness. 4
My sadness now consumes me on our last day together. As you lift my face with your hand, I open my eyes and look upon you. I try to capture this moment. I do not want to let go of your face and your eye's so filled with devotion and love for me. For I know I will have to call upon the inner strength within me, to relieve my anguish of heartache and lonliness after you leave. I hear the trickling of the stream behind us, the birds are singing joyously in the plush Maples and Oaks. The valley across the way is plush, as if it was painted forever, green with envy. 5
You gently lean forward as if to press your lips against mine, my heart swells, my knees weaken, anticipating your kiss. You're a breath away, I can smell your scent as you pull me in, intoxicating my senses. Your lips press against mine with a single long kiss, slowly you sweep across my cheek to my ear, you whisper so gently, "I will love you forever, never have I known such love from another, never have I been happier." The tears begin to fall, my body grows limp within your arms, I begin to shake. I can not speak, for my words would only be a whimper. With a heavy sigh I manage to mutter only meek sounds. My breathing becomes shallow as I hold you tighter than ever before. Wrapping my arms around you, knowing this is our last embrace. 6
Thoughts race through my mind, of why? Why does this need to be? Why is this happening to me? I am so lost without him. 7
The anger of opening my heart again, then turns my thoughts to emptiness and solitude to be. A coldness surges through me. I start to cry as if my heart will be buried in pain forever. I cannot lift my eyes to yours, for I do not want you to see my heart suffering so. The emptiness I feel, the loneliness that will come. A tormenting place I dwelled in for so long before I met you. I pushed away slowly, only to be stopped by the strength of your embrace. I manage to gaze upon your shoulders, then your face, slowly bringing my eyes to yours. In a shallow breath I try to say "I love you too". For I could never find any other words to completely express the abundance of love that I could give to you. 8
My face now glowing from warmth of the morning sun, I feel droplets of sadness streaming down my cheek. I straighten my body, then open my eyes slowly, only to gaze upon the emptiness before me. 9
The trees tops baron, the once plush valley now brown and vacant of life. I hear the rushing of the melting stream behind me. My memories of summer have once again taken over my heart. For that brief moment, giving comfort to my loneliness, as if you were still embracing all of my worries. 10
