Meeting My Forever Friend
Letters streamed through endless miles
My trusted confidant contained therein
Neatly
Kept securely
Always there
Always willing
Yet, safely
At a distance
A very, very dear friend
Tender thoughts upon his photo
Smiles at recorded voice
My mind swims of
Intimate understandings
Acceptance — full, complete
Now I’m standing at the airport
Heart pounding
A heavy sigh, still pounding
Hands in pockets
Gazing ‘round
Arms now folded
Across my chest
Echoing footsteps
A roar of new voices
Scattered faces in the crowd
My heart beats faster as I swallow
Gazing, searching
And then
Suddenly
He’s right beside me
Silly smiles full engaged
No words for what eyes convey
A longing hug
A fierce embrace
Eyes connect once more
Hearts blend as one
