The Love Affair

I cried for you today

and as your umbrella

protected you from my tears,

you still ignored me.

My heart was broken

and cause an earthquake

a million miles away.



I clapped my hands

to catch your attention

and even though

you heard the thunder roll,

you still ignored me.

I turned my head

to wipe my tears

and caused a hurricane

two states north of you.



I placed my thumb

in front of my light bulb

to create what you call...

an eclipse,

but you still ignored me.

My tears froze

as they fell from my eyes

but you didn’t even thank me,

for the snow day.



I sighed and caused the breeze

that made you smile,

so I blew a little more

and the cotton balls you call clouds,

flew twenty miles away.

You remembered me!



You told me thank you

and I could have sworn,

that I saw the sunrise in your eyes.

But you were looking at me.

My heart was so full of joy,

I closed my eyes

to let the tears fall...

the sun set early



and it rained again.

You still smiled...

and said thank you.

You remembered me!



You told me you loved me

and the words sent chills up my spine—

it snowed again.

You made an angel in the snow

and told me that one day

you’d have wings of your own.

I clapped my hands

as I laughed—

the earth shook

and the thunder rolled.

You smiled and said you needed

to remodel your house anyway.



I blew you a kiss

and although the trees bent—

you caught it on

your cheek and blushed.

The sun rose in your eyes again

and I loved you so much,

that I decided it was time

for your sun to set.

And as I watched your eyes

close one more time,

I took a deep breath.

When I inhaled

your soul flew up to me

like a moth drawn to a flame.



You smiled when you saw me

and the sun rose again.

It was so good to have you home,

that we had a party in your honor.

We made so much noise,

we caused the planets

to form a new line.

You smiled and still said thank you.

I smiled and said...  “you’re welcome”.
