EARLY AFTERNOON
Early in the afternoon
Right after the last drop of rain had fallen
On the ground still wet with kisses
And tears mixed with perspiration
Early in the afternoon
I wait for the one I long to love
Me back early in the afternoon
Those brown eyes
That looked smaller under those glasses
The pouty lips that was almost a smirk
Concealing a smile for some happy memory
Memory that should have included me
And those brown eyes and pouty lips
The clouds remained gray
And to be honest, I don't know what it means
I don't know when the rain will fall again
But I do know that I am wishing
And hoping against all hope
That for some miraculous reason
Or some ridiculous coincidence
I guess what I am trying to say
Is that I long for those days
When my arms were wrapped around you
Holding you holding me
Touching the hands that are touching mine
Exploring every contour
With kisses and caresses
And tears mixed with perspiration
My air filled with your perfume
And breath I can almost feel
As you take in air in rhythm
Synchronized to my longing
And my aches and pains
And my heart throbbing
Early in the afternoon
I wait
For one more early afternoon
