A sepia coloured br Photograph br In that old album br Is all I can touch br Of you, br Now. br br Cross-legged on the floor; br In your bridal finery- br A wistful expression- br Dreamy, anticipating br Perhaps, the myriad dreams br To unfold and blossom. br br Your chin resting br On your palm, br That cupped your face- br Pointed, alluring! br br I remember that moment- br Well! br If it were not for my mother br Standing behind us, br It would have been br My hands cupping your face! br And... br br Hush! br I quieten the br Welling storm of memories. br br I never told you br How lovely you looked, br That moment! br br And now, br When I say it, br I wonder, can you hear? br br And longingly wait br For that moment, br When I will. br br Finally. br When I meet you, br In eternity.
