Missing H

[part of the bouquet he sent me on my birthday]

I was twelve.
I saw him everyday on the way to school. And back.
My day wasn't complete unless I caught a glimpse of him somehow.
He was different. Older. Unruly hair. Shirt untucked.
Grey trousers with white stripes - unlike the uniform black of the other boys.

For two years, we spoke only with our eyes.
Then, one evening he rang me.
And we haven't stopped speaking since.

He is the only one who truly understands my words, my moods, my silences.
I only wish he was here with me now, rather than miles away.
Without him, I am only half complete.

It does make the heart grow fonder though, I've learned personally.

May H return very soon...This of you you spoke with your eyes once-upon-a-time in the meantime... the eyes are the silent tongues of love, so Cervantes said :o) Being apart from one's love is never easy...Be kind to yourself and let the aiticIpaion of return be sweet. ((HUGS))
