I call you

by Jeffrey Sax
May 11th, 1999

It is time
for us to meet
and never part again
in this lifetime.

I call you,
not by your name
for I don’t know it.

I call you
by the beauty of your smile,
by the truth in your eyes.

I call you
by the softness of our lips touching,
by the warmth of our arms embracing,

I call you
by the joy of our togetherness.
by the ecstasy of our union.

I call you
with the song of my Being
for it resonates with yours
in perfect harmony

Not long ago,
I heard your song
playing in the distance
faint but unmistakable.

At last.

I hear it louder and clearer every day.
bringing ever closer the time
for us to meet
and never part again
