I am waiting for you

I have seen you in reflections
half glimpsed in the riot and the chaos behind me
in everything that was not me
I have heard you in echoes from lips that were not my own
I have smelled your perfume after you'd left the room, lingering like a lost thought behind you
I have tasted you in the air on summer nights pregnant with thunder and rain
I have touched you
slid my fingers down the curve of your back, like an inverted moon
buried myself in the pale blanket of your skin
lost myself in the tender kisses of your lips

And I have held you
But not outside of my dreams
Never beyond my dreams

I am waiting...

I am waiting.
