Upon Waking

"It is always her"

As if in a dream.  It is her. It is always her,  but I can not remember her face.  I know her eyes,  I know her smile,  I know the tenderness of her kiss.  I know the sting of her passion as she playfully bites my lip.  I know her laugh,  I know her tears,  I know the sadness of her words. I know the joy of her desire as she softly whispers in my ear.  I know her pains,  I know her conventions,  I know the distance of her affections. I know the secrets of her heart as she gently touches my skin. I know her hopes,  I know her fears,  I know the depth of her love as she slowly moves away. I know the pull of her ... I know the ... I know the ... I can not remember her face,  but it is her. It is always her. As if in a dream.
