The Day We Meet

by Michelle   Apr 10, 2004


I'll finally meet you face to face tomorrow
So there's no way I will sleep tonight
My body is trembling in anticipation
My mind is filled with nervous fright.

My heart however, has no reservations
As you sit aboard the soaring plane
It says "You've waited so long for this Mich,
Without him, we've been insane!"

"So, why now with doubts and worries?
You've been so positive all along...
You know this man intimately already,
And with us forever IS where he does belong!"

Oh heart, yes, I know all that already
I long for just the slightest touch of his hand...
It's only my thoughts and fears about myself
So please don't misunderstand...

This man I'll meet in a few short hours
Is a complilation of all I've ever dreamed about
He's as important as the very air I breathe
Of this, heart, have not a single doubt.

I will be smiling shyly as I watch from a bit afar
And when he steps into the crowded room
My eyes will at long last be fixed upon
The man who will one day become my groom.

I'll wait just a minute then rush to where he is
I'll cup his face in my hands, offer him a kiss
I know it won't feel awkward with my Craig
We've waited so long already, I won't be able to resist.

His body in the same room with me is all that's lacking now
But his overwhelming presence is always with me
Since I fell in love, I take little pieces of him
Wherever, in my day, I may be going to be.

So yes, my heart, I have no doubts about this man
He's more important to me than life itself, the one I'll always love...
But I still can't help feeling frightened
As I see the plane coming down through the clouds above.

Everything I've ever wanted in life
Is riding on that big jet airliner today...
Please Dear God, let him love me like he says
And, Im begging, let him never go away.

It may be a couple months yet babe, but I'm waiting..as long as it takes, anticipating, longing, yearning for this day...
xxxforever Craig. no less. Mich

    My darling Trout!!!
    So sooo looking forward to the time we get together sweetheart, can jus imagine those las few days going on forever. and the two plane trips gonna seem endless but at least i`ll know those wings are carrying me to my baby. agree with the first verse we will be a bit nervy as we spot each other across a crowded airport/bus depot but rest assured i will qualm yr trembling body with a tight lingering embrace as i nuzzle my head into yr hair and give you a long lingering wet kiss.
    love the pun `my heart has no reservation` very witty! and like you my heart has been waiting for this moment all its life. its been dragged through the mire of misery as long term relationships have stalled and failed. but with you it seems oh so different. never met someone as attentive and as endearing as you in my life, and seeing as im 34 will proberly never will again. the distance and disunity has been maddening and incensed the peace and tranquility of my mind and this tempestious torture will never calm till i can finaly hold you.
    `so why now with the doubts and worries` works both ways honey. totaly understandable to worry are we gonna live up to each others expectaions actualy in each others presence, but after the initial awkwardness im sure we gonna get along all fine and dandy. its not as if we dont know each other its just a new dimension will be added to our relationship. and the buzz of being able to reach out and touch you anytime will last the whole holiday.
    i love this poems setting of standing in an airport as the tension rises, waiting for me to land as emotional axietys build and disquieten yr heart. can jus imagine that happening, looking out to the runway, seeing my plane landing, butterflies in the stomach making both of us feel queesy with excitment and urgancy.
    `complilation of all i`ve ever dreamed about` jus so soo love that line. and feel exactly the same towards you. a pick and mix,a medley of everything I have desired and hankered for, all the best parts of human nature all in one bundle of lovliness that is called michelle. so wish i could find some tiny fault in you honey (im sure i will soon enough, proberly before we even get to belroit!!! ok, ok looking at that pic.) so as to dispell these thoughts and suspicious that yr either a phantom of my imagination or some guradian angel sent from heaven to make my life as wonderful as possible.
    `...rush to where he is...cup his face in my hands, offer him a kiss` gonna hold you to that baaaybe, even if i have to write this poem down and wave it in yr preety little face as i land. dnt want you to go all coy on me girl, and there wont be any opportunitys for head lunges! (well not that kind anyway!!)
    `..overwhelming presence is always with me` again wonderfuly descriptive lines, so true. same for me mich, you seem to be with me everywhere i go these days, whether yr a lighter in my pocket or a song in my head, a picture on the screen or a scented pillow on my bed. `little pieces` of you litter my life now honey and never want it to be any other way. love the way parts of you are strewn everywhere i look, geta rush everytime i flick through my mobile phones list and pass yr name.
    `please dear God let him love me like he says` awwww sweetheart, of course i love you as much as i say, even if yr 4500+ miles, 45000000 light years away or sitting across the room from me will simply adore you to death. please dnt doubt that michelle. yr more than i have ever dreamed of, better than i deserve. as we leave our meeting place will offer my hand to you and never let it go. i promise. xxx
