FOR DONNA HERNANDEZ

 

How gentle is the wind,

when it blows beside your window?

I am certain you don't hear.

It's as silent as my thoughts of you.

 

How fragrant is the air,

your companion when you are sleeping?

How I'd love to breathe in deep.

How I'd love to be there touching you.

How I'd love to be with you.

How I'd love to feel you touching me.

I am certain you don't know.

I'm awake with thoughts of loving you.

 

How slowly goes the time,

with your heart to beat the minutes by?

I would love to hear one beat.

I would make it last for hours.

How I'd love to be with you.

How I'd love to be there touching you.

I'm certain you don't know.

I'm awake with thoughts of loving you.
