Airport torture. Patience! Wait! The
Tannoy shouts you’ve just arrived and fingers
Tap and eyes are strained — they wander through
The queue for recognition. Soon we’ll be together — sharing
Secrets. Share a scarf…… and share a little heaven. Again. …
Kisses over breakfast. Touching souls and swapping wishes.
The coffee’s cold — you washed the dishes — shared a cigarette
And time to go. We took the train — still clutching.
We smiled as others looked away….then looked again…
Hands across the table — tasting tears and linking
Fingers. Case is packed but we’ll still linger `til
Our time is up. Soon we’ll just be swapping letters,
Crying down the telephone. We’ll wish away the seconds
`til the story starts again……………
