We sat on the grass
back to back
as we ate lunch in the sun.
Your every swallow
sent a ripple down my spine
and the warmth of your being
comforted me
as I leant into you.
We sat in silence,
closed eyes in a sacred space
to honour our friendship,
and delighted in the synchronicity
of fresh flowers
and a man in a suit.
Giggling we discussed
what it might mean,
your arm strong around my shoulder,
my arm hugging your waist.
We stood in the dining room.
Surrounded by others,
not wanting to be alone in this,
I said goodbye.
I sobbed deep ancient sounds,
loudly and messily,
while you held me close with tender kindness
and my breathing settled
until my head lay still
upon your chest.
I walked away
without looking back
to hide in my bedroom
and cry some more,
until I left the house
in search of a cigarette.
I don’t smoke,
but I did that night
for I could no longer,
share air with you.
Beautiful, just beautiful.
Thank you sweetheart. I continue to hold you in my heart and prayers. Love you!
