The Meeting
I found myself standing in a room,a room not of the real world,which I
call my life,but also not in the world of my dreams,It seemed to be a
sitting room,sparse of furnishings Except a divan, a small end table that held a vase of flowers,and a oversize chair.A window on one wall let in what seemed to be a slight autumn breeze. Music softly playing could be heard but the source of it I know not.
Suddenly as i transported to where she stood,I became aware of her
presence. Her face I had seen many times. A name spoken often for the ladies' attention. A voice that fit the image,and was instantly reconized to me. Yet none of these were hers' Her touch had brought me joy many times even tho I have never felt the warmth of her flesh.
We spoke not at all but just moved to half arms length from each other. As if ordained by some predefined ritual, Our arms slowly lifted, placing the fingertips of our hand lightly upon each others forehead. Our fingers caressed every perfection, every imperfection of the face they touched as if to collect the knowledge of any feature,knowing that the meeting of this couple may only happen this one time.
As her fingers moved across my forehead,along my cheek,and started to feel the shape of the lips they came to, mine followed suit. I pursed
my lips and lightly kissed the tip of her finger as it skimmed past,in return,and with a lightly wicked yet playful smile she nipped the end of mine.Our fingers proceeded down over the chin, the neck,and finally ceased midchest,where we let the palms rest against the soft flesh.
I watched her standing motionless for what seemed to be a endless amount of time.Her eyes cast down as if concentrating on every aspect of the moment.Her heartbeat, which I felt pulse in my hand,was quick at first then slowed.The beat of my heart, was also aware to me throught the slight pressure to which she placed upon my chest.At first the two hearts pumped at a different ,almost opposite tempo,but then as if to combine they coincided.It was almost as if our hearts had joined.As if they found solace and strength in one another.
She lifted her gaze to embrace mine,a tear glistened on her cheek.
Do you feel it?
Yes I replied.
The first words to interrupt the silence except that of the music.
Do you feel our hearts?
Isnt it wonderous?
Again I replied simply,YES.
Stepping foward she laid her head sweetly upon my chest.Engulfing her in an enbrace I felt her chest raise slightly,then the sound of a sigh saying all is fine. She once again stepped back from me.
Why the tear? I asked.With a small laugh she replied. I think my heart
is so full now it cannot possible hold any more,so the overflow has leaked from my eye.Again another small laugh.Kissing the tear from her cheek,I interjected,There< with that kiss I have expanded your heart so that now I can attempt to refill it.We both smiled now looking at each other with tenderness and understanding. We now knew what it all meant to us.We knew what it was we both needed from each other. Friendship and Love, thats what it was. Knowing that there was someone.somewhere who cared.Someone we did not have to please,but wanted to,even though it is not expected. A person we could tell anything to without fear of being judged.
Our time together was short,but we knew this meeting had to end.Once again she placed her hand on my cheek, and kissed the other. Turning now she moved away.As she left I looked past her to see two groups of shadows and three paths. To her left was one group beckoning for her attention,on the right more shadows, with a path leading to each,and one path in the middle. POOF!! She was gone,disappearing as quickly as she appeared.I know not what path she choose but I do know I will support and be there for her when she finds a need for me.
Now I stand alone again in this middle world, I too must choose a path to follow,but with this meeting I know I'm not alone,and my life is that much better.This meeting I know will sustain me untill hopefully there is another. POOF!! I'm gone.
For anyone who is saying "What the heck was this." Why are there so many contradictions.I say the only way to find the answer is to try V.P. Watch the interactions of the people you see there, Interact yourself,then read this over again and you will find the answers.
