April Storm

Angel,

Spring has come and with it the early rains and unsettled weather. We have come through a wild night of winds, rain, ice, and snow. And though the morning has come it is still dark and wild. The smaller birds have stopped their singing and flitting about. They have all found some warmer, drier shelter to wait out these winds.

I would have you here to wait out this weather with me. I would have you in this dark room listening to the wild winds outside while we remain warm and sheltered. I want to feel your back pressed to my chest, my arm around you, and your curls on my cheek. I want to feel the warmth of you against the length of me. I want to touch your smooth freckled skin and breath in your scents that fill the room.

But mostly I want to hear the rhythm of your breathing and the sweet sound of your voice as we talk.

We sill know the slow quiet safety and comfort of this room. We will take shelter from the rush of cold wind and rain. We will let the rest of the world turn for a while without us. Here we will find a place to rest, heal a little, gather ourselves together and each other up.

I would have you here - all of you - just as you are - and with you find a place to shelter for a while.

Me.
