71. A Kiss on the Cheek

Nervous glances
From across the room
Wondering what the other is thinking

A whole year
Spent without justice
And now finally…tonight?

A heart cries in the dark
Yearning to be heard
In the loneliness

A few awkward conversations
The other always reading
What the other does

I waited
Forever…
To feel your gentle touch

Somehow, I know
That I can always
Trust you

Through the
Thick
And the thin

Then when I was prepared
You blew me away
As usual

As you drew me
Into your arms
I felt safe once more

I felt your lips
Brush softly across my cheek
Just a simple Kiss on the Cheek
