i am all by myself, this afternoon


Afternoon

I am thinking of you this afternoon
rather
I have been thinking about you
all the while
but today
I am gulping this air
since
looking at you

This air is of no use to me
For it does not carry your scent
or bear your touch
Nor does it
carry your whispers
I wonder
What makes it so heavy then
What is it that it carries
that made my heart skip a beat
or two
And lose all its rhythm

This air is heavy
with waiting
let me make it light
with anticipation

There is an introspective "warmness" in this that I find intriguing and somehow comforting. Well written!
