Secrets We Keep

By Bee

The waves sigh in relief
The ocean breezes blows through my hair
You left the window open again
I lay here in silence
We do not speak
No words are needed
Silence speaks in a way words can not
You breathe in my ear
I fall into your kisses
Only to drown out my sadness
I know in the back of my mind that I will cry for you
Cry for the fact that I will leave
I stayed this extra week for you
You know it
It's funny how you know me so well
And how we seem meant to be
The way my body fits yours oh to well
The way you know whats on my mind
And how to cheer me up
You know what I like and how to make me happy
I wake you up to say good-bye like you told me to
You hold me and kiss me and say good-bye
Two kisses
Then I break away
Because I know the third kiss will make me fall apart there in your arms
I lean into your chest and cry
And I know you feel for me
You kiss my head
My eyes
My cheeks
Then find my lips again
I fall apart
I'm being called to go and I leave
You had dried my tears and told me it would be okay
I knew I would miss you but never this much
I sit in the car
And bury my face in the pillow to hide the tears that can't be seen
I listen to music
And fall asleep
Now I sit a cry
I miss you
But you won't be gone for long
I miss your face
Your rough callused hands
Your ice blue eyes that held me
Your perfect lips
The way you smell
The way you taste
I miss you but I know that you will return to me
I know this
We still talk
And I still see you
But know one can know what has happened
So I sigh
You wait for me
And you'll wait for three more years
But I'll see you when you come to visit
And every summer for a month
And I'll never forget the fun we had
Or our secrets

    Yo this is a return comment on a poem i wrote. Called "Smoke Pot" You told me that i should 'get my act up' i think i should tell you this. MY ACT IS Up!! and i think maybe you should shud up and not tell me what to do when you have no idea what your talking about.

    wow britt, i know exactly what this is about. as i read it my throat closed up, partly cause i was dreading what i might find, partly cause i was worried about u, and partly cause every "I" in the poem might as well have been me. it looks like our summers were a lot closer than we thought. i need u brittany, and im sure ur needing somebody....obviously i can't fill the void a guy leaves, and neither can u, but we can kiss each others wounds, lend an ear and make everything better cause thats what friends do.
    great poem, so much feeling, u didn't hide anything, great job!
