42 Days

It is 42 days
'til I see you
until mine eyes
behold yours
until my hands
hold your face
until my breath
    tastes your skin
and my lips
    join with yours
it is 42 days
    of pleasurable torture
    of building longing
    of two souls wanting
and the tension builds
until we get to each other
    42 days of waiting
        of hoping
            of desiring
42 days of the heart growing fonder…
        42 days of waiting…
                    for you
