Breathless

Anticipation leaves me breathless

And I feel so restless

Whenever the wind whispers your name

Echoes call

As shadows fall

With memories of how good it felt

To lean into the night 

Knowing you would be beside me

So that even now 

After all these years gone by

I still remember fondly

Nights of companionship and passion

As with the dawning of the promise of new love

Apprehension grows

And again

Leaves me 

Breathless
