You Breathe : Light Touch

(Drops of Jupiter by : Train)

      

I am back from my soul vacation. And yes I missed you.

 

       There is a faint ironic smile on my lips. Moonlight kisses our forms from your window. How fitting for the two children who have claimed the moon.

 

       Can you realize how much you have meant to me?

 

       I can hug you without having to explain why. I can look at you and you will understand. I can run away weeping, fuming, cursing and you will know not to chase after me. I can ease away silently and you will know where to find me. I can cry inside and you will wonder why. I can remain silent and you can understand the quiet words of the hush. I can kiss you on the lips without promising anything other than this, a light touch

 

       The human touch both of us have been looking for. Love that doesn’t chain. Love that doesn’t demand. Love that endures all things.

 

       So much has been demanded of us, it would not be fair to demand again. It would not be fair to chain each other down. We will love. We will touch, but still be free to look into the night sky and wonder what else destiny will serve us.

 

       But do you understand now? I have fallen for a shooting star. One without a permanent scar. But I still missed you while I was looking for myself out there. I missed sitting here on your window sill, silent as rain. I missed the comforting presence of your hand on my shoulder.

 

       I missed you.

 

       But while you are the moon, I am nothing more than a darkling shadow that will forever travel in your rays. There may come a time when we will not be together anymore, but know that I will always look for your gentle rays and quiet voice. You are my moon, my goddess and my light.

 

       I shall miss you when I go looking for myself again, out there.
