Together, we exchange

passing glances, slyly

smiling at the possibilities.

We brush shoulders, 

press our lips upon sweet necks,

hold hands in the spur 

of a moment,

no matter time or place

or who may be watching.

Each of these speaks 

of a love connecting and reconnecting,

again and again

over a lifetime.

Perhaps this is an evidence

of love that endures,

this desire to connect

to stay connected

to keep touching, pressing together

over time,

through all the seasons

no matter what comes 

our way to get in the way

of each other.
