SandalWood

Sandalwood is what I smell 

and

cool air conditioning all around. 

We drive through the late night. 

Your caressing hand

in my lap feels so right. 

I hold it tightly. 

The music plays softly. 

For your touch I have waited nightly. 

Awaking to missing your kisses

daily. 

Finally you're here. 

I hold back a tear. 

Hate so much when you're away. 

You always not here is more

than I can bear. 

You watch the road calmly. 

I watch you most longingly.  

When you're gone

I do not

know what to do. 

My pain I keep to myself. 

My fears I push to the back of

The shelf. 

I breathe deeply.

Tonight no sleepy. 

Hoping you will always 

love me. 

Later I will show you 

my love in many ways.

I smell you in the air. 

The sandalwood that you wear.

Almost dizzying. 

No resisting. 

To the music I sing. 

You're home again.
