It’s Been a Long Time

Into the cold, brisk air

With anticipation

Of what I will find there

Breathing in some courage

Walking towards the door

Trying to remember

Without keeping score

Do you love me still?

I have loved you always

And I always will

My heart is in my throat

Reaching in my pocket

I re-read your note

Steady ground eludes me

Rising floor by floor

Finally arriving

Knocking at your door

Plese, please, please…
