A soft humming sound
grabs my attention
I secretly wish
It to be you
trying to catch me by surprise
Just like old times
I rush to the door
Looking around
I see nothing odd
The same view..
The same sun..
The same breeze..
I come back inside
And sink into your favorite chair
For once imagining myself wrapped
In your arms
Feeling the warmth of your embrace
A sudden craving begins to knaw at me..
I fervently need to see you..
To meet you..
And I rush to the school.
As I stand there watching the kids play,
A tiny hand tugs at me from behind.
I turn to see a tiny face smiling at me..
Overjoyed, I lift him and we begin to play.
You loved kids, didn't you?
Maybe that's the reason why
being with them
feels just like
being with you..
