The Long Hug Hello

The long hug hello began with warm words on a cold wintry night

In an airport lounge where we first made sight

Like a kaleidoscope it continues to turn, with colors so bright

Interrupted now, only by a field of distance

Her memories hang in the halls of my mind

With the sweet essence of Strawberry wine

Today daylight came and flew by

Like a silver bullet jet streaking across the sky

The night creeps in absconding daylights last flickering thoughts

Alone now with memories of her on a distant beach

Far away where I cannot reach

I can taste the salty sweetness of the night air

For only in dreams can I find her there

I dream the dream united in slumber with my timeless soulmate

And awake to the new day refreshed by the timeless memory of The Long Hug Hello
