The wind is blowing to the East
I can see you walking in the field of tall grass near the beach
The rain will start again soon
It’s been raining for weeks
I wave to you
I can see your face change
That smile
You wave back to me
Almost forgetting why
As your gaze falls back to the earth in front of you
The sounds of crashing waves and sea gulls surround me
How I long to be the wind over the grass that touches your body
Holding you close
So near to my nothingness
Yet, here I sit watching
And there you are, walking away
Your dark hair flies violently like an unkindness of ravens
The rain starts to fall
You stand there almost frozen in your steps
Your dark hair sticking thick now to your head
Covering your face
Your beautiful face
Falling to pieces in various forms we collide back into one another
Grasping for air
Reaching for stars that have no names
Begging just to hear the sounds of the three words lost in the wind
I love you
You crash into me as I run to you in the field of tall grass near the beach
Holding you as the storm grows increasingly stronger
Pulling you tighter so that the wind can no longer carry my words away
Holding close we feel no need to say them
Holding on to everything
While clinging to nothing
There will always be storms
