********************************
When awake I dream about dreaming…
I want to be visited…
Because I traveled far…
To meet you.
********************************
“Nikolas…” Gia whispers softly.
The kiss was exuberant… first kisses always are.
“Gia, there are times… when I awaken and realize what a tender part of my dreams you have been… I know that my thoughts are only reflecting the loving hopes of my heart because whenever they wander they always take me to you.”
Nikolas stops, gauging Gia’s reaction.
“Every once in a while I start feeling a little lost, especially when I start wondering where we’re going. And every now and then I need something from you that I don’t always get.”
“What is that?”
“I’d like for us to talk a little more… touch a little more. Just an occasional thing, so I know you’re still happy with me.”
“I am happy…”
“I hope I’m not asking for too much. Gia, just enough to know from time to time that I make a difference.”
“You do.”
Gia is silent for a moment, as she has turned her back from Nikolas. She is at the same time shocked and flattered by his declaration. She gathers the courage and softly states what’s on her mind.
“Love and its verbal expression, the words I love you. Many of us have difficulties with those three little words. Those who have been toughened in their childhoods or by life will often be unable to say I love you. Some of us will place a huge barrier between ourselves and those words… I can’t say them until I know the other person is my life, my soul.”
“Knowing that makes all the difference in the world to me. I hope you’ll just for a moment how much you mean to me. Gia, If your path never crosses mine, know that you have my heart.” Nikolas gently turns Gia around, and gives her an envelope that he had intended to give her after the night was over. The chance seemed to come sooner rather than later. He goes into Wyndermere, leaving Gia on the balcony alone.
Inside the envelope Gia finds a poem.
***********************************
I close my eyes and drink you in
Then I slowly pour you out on paper with my pen
You form into beautiful words caught in a rhyming phrase
Writing all over the whit in a wordy maze
So they can read the beauty I have discovered
Which has been matched by no other.
You are my poetry.
Nikolas
