A Warm Sweet Day

I see a future out there
and the agony of waiting for it, unfair

significant the highs and lows
altitude sickness ensuing, this blows

the smell of her skin, the taste of her honeyed kiss
sweet eyes, pale skin, I miss

my eyes close and I recall sushi, smiles, tears, tender kisses, the setting sun
my heart quickens, then swells with longing, for her, my one

she wants me, I feel it, need it
for her I find I want to devote, and commit

this long trail of urgent patience is rugged, steep
then I picture us in the sun, we made it, the reward is ours to reap!
