I wondered today as I drove up the road and saw this couple obviously in love, her perched against his lap, together sat on the railing above the sea wall, with the sun blazing it's rays onto the shimmering sea, as they gazed into each other's eyes and she to him gave a wistful look to the ground with the corner of her mouth turned slight upward in a loving look, I wondered whether
WAS IT JUST ME ..
Who felt a longing ache, deep inside somewhere, an ache which recognised that knowing glance, that gazing into another's beloved face when everything is great with the world, when everyone is lovely and all is LOVE.. that sharp pang of remembering how that used to FEEL; and now after a milisecond lost somewhere in handsome memories remembering that now for me, that is gone.. and longing one day to experience it again..
IS IT JUST ME?
.. that contemplates morosely whether that time will ever once more be and that walking hand-in-hand at sunset, sharing antoher's ice-cream as you both laugh at the mess on your faces, whether THAT experience of loving someone so dearly, so totally, so completely, will ever come again by God's design..
IS IT JUST ME?
.. who hopes that I won't spend too many more summers with this lump in my throat as I see the lovers walk back to their home, laughing and holding one another tightly round the waist as they discuss where to go eat ON that beautiful God-kissed summer's evening..
IS IT JUST ME?
..who goes home alone trying not to think about my lonely situation with loving friends and family YES, but not that one lover's kiss to look forward to when I get home from work.. until I settle back into my lifetime routine and the memory of those lovers begins to fade with the start of cooking the family's tea and I come back to my rational and easier thinking that by now that couple are probably arguing over where to eat that night and the lover's bubble has probably burst by now.. hasn't it?
IS IT JUST ME?
...that now gets into the soap on the TV as it starts to erase all negative thoughts for now, escaping into soapdom.. until the next drive by the lover's sea....
