Quiet Day
Quiet Day
By
Irene Delacorte
21 June 2008
It was a quiet day, I waited
I thought of her working her job
Getting in her car, coming back to me
Driving now, she must be, coming back
I started supper, her favorite, prawns
Watching them turn from pink to white
Fixing the sauce, stirring it with love
Looking out the window I watched for her
There she is, I saw her getting out
The car sat there so still now
The door opened as she entered
And I awakened from my daydream
I smiled then turned in the bed
Hugging my pillow I thought of her
Working , driving, a life lived far from me
Yet close, with each breath I felt her
That night she came to me all excited
She had news about changes in her life
She’d been offered a job in China
The end of the earth was what I thought
But support was what she wanted
Support and advice, I gave it
I spoke of Japan, so near to her there
I spoke of challenges facing her
She seemed distant, her mind was clouded
She talked of her friends and the effect
We talked of the details that would occur
Talking around the issue of acceptance
Then she stilled for a moment and asked
She asked the question that tortured me
The one that MMA had told me about
The one I was so conflicted about
She asked if it was a possibility
She asked if it was in my thoughts
Could she join me, come to me
God, I wanted to scream out YES!!!!
It flashed through my mind, the splendor
The thought of her here with me
The thought of her hand in mine
The thought of her lips tasting mine
Then I realized she loved me
I knew her love was never ending
But I said no, words slipped from my mouth
I looked at them and was in shock
How could I deny her, I wanted her so much
But she had another love, another love
One who needed her care, she loved her
As I know she loved me forever
She listened to my words, explanation
I could tell I hurt her, hurt my love
Pleading with her not to leave me
We ended the conversation
That night I cried for her, I loved her
That night I cried for me, she loved me
In the morning I awoke and went about my life
Dull and shaken I awaited her call that night
She said she would decide about China
She said she would talk to me more
She said she would never leave me
Frightened, such a strange feeling for me
Both Chrissy and Donna consoled me
They told me of her love for me
I told them I couldn’t live without her
I told them how important she was
The night came on, the screen was blank
I stared at the monitor, my lifeline
I thought of her, and cried some more
Then suddenly she was there with me
She told me of conflict with her boss
She told me she had decided
No China, she would not leave for there
My heart leaped, yet I questioned her
I asked why she had decided against it
She told me it was not what she wanted
I asked what she wanted from life
She told me she wanted me with her forever
Tears flowed down my face as I held her
Joy surged in my heart as I thought of us
I wanted her in England so badly
I wanted her with me so badly
She told me of her love for me
Told me she understood my feelings
She said she knew we would be together
One day My lips would touch hers
And I agreed, one day we would be together
As we were meant to be,
As we should be,
For I Love her
That night after she had gone away
I lay in my bed and hugged my pillow
And drifted off into my dreams
She came to me, her hands held out
I took them and put the prawns on a plate
While she changed from her work clothes
She returned and started to eat them
And I watched and My heart was full
Finishing she came around and sat on my lap
I held her close to me, hugging her tight
Smelling the day upon her, her scent
I smiled and knew that this is what I want
I slipped my hand into her blouse
Holding her breast, I stroked her and looked
I looked at the woman I loved, and will love
For the rest of my days I shall love her
I stirred in my bed and realized
I’d dreamt again as oft I do
My dreams shall always be of my love
Till she is here to share them with me
