Standing there, strong, unmovable
I feel his strength call to me
I long to feel his arms around me
I reach up and caress his face
kiss his lips
drawing myself into him
his face is hard, his lips cold
I wonder if he would love me
I fall at his feet
wanting, loving, gasping
I caress his legs, kiss his thighs
and still he doesn't respond
I embrace him
I bury my head in his neck
sobbing I hold him
I feel a tear drop in my neck
he is crying too
he feels my need
I hold him tight as I feel his tears fall on my neck
I shudder as they run down my back
I kiss him again, knowing he loves me
I step back, promising to return
and lift my hood against the rain
