I had a dream in which I saw you sitting on my front lawn.
Just sitting there, looking at me as I hurried down the path.
You said hello, I was surprised
I wondered what was wrong to bring you all this way.
There was nothing wrong in seeing you
I had craved it for so long
That you had arrived unannounced was not what I expected.
As I thought you were more a creature of habit than impulse.
I stood looking at you, not sure what you expected, what I expected
My heart was overjoyed to see you, there’s no doubt
I took your hand, felt your icey fingers, wrap themselves around mine.
You blushed knowing I had realised you were cold.
I invited you in, turned on the warmth, led you to my kitchen
Hot tea, something to eat, conversation about the weather
You blushed and answered as I thought, hurried, nothing responses
I knew there was a reason, a reason to come to me.
When something is wrong, we fish for answers. You sought assurance
You wanted to know if I was ok with you in my house
That I wasn’t put out by you intruding on my life
When prior to now we had been at a distance.
But I sensed you were in need, why else this great trouble to get here
So I did what I could to relax you, settle you, make you feel comfortable
For a physical presence is so much different to words
A person stands before you, you watch them move, smile, their eyes.
You took all that in; I know you did, for you watched as I moved about
How I placed the cups, how I poured the water, where I sat
For I did sit opposite, for very good reason, to watch you, look at you
For how else could I ascertain the true purpose of your visit?
