Walking home beneath the snow last night
I called, wishing you a safe and steady flight
you said you'd connected at your bros
to talk to me
thats so lovely, it warmed my bones
sorry I missed you

I heard your mum in the background,
in your speech a quickened sound
probably hurrying you to the airport
to where flew my own rapid thoughts

I said 'I love you' and in return you replied,
truthfully I pray, 'I love you'
three small words that overflow my lighter heart
make feet skip on the crisp white path
twirl and spin ecstatic, euphoric dance
joyfully meandering home

settled in my armchair, comfortable twilight
brief encounter, cup of tea, feeling alright
kept checking the clock
you would be boarding the plane
now you were in the air again
as they snuck out of the cinema
you were nearing sao paulo
10:50 my time, landing in ten minutes

who will meet you there?
I wish it were me, with a floristry of fresh flowers
a smile, a kiss and a 'missed you' hug
maybe I should call you to be sure you safely arrived?
I was unsure, perhaps you'd be tired
longing for your bed, as I long for you
and so I took to mine

I lay in the silence, still and awake
I imagined the 14 hour flight I plan to take
i dreamt away...
to railways and trains
fated meetings and quiet country lanes
of you sat on a summers bench
shaded by sycamore leaves,
a breeze flirting with your hair and skirt
fair vision serene jolted as the alarm went off for work

all through my morning, i wish you could see
every snowdrop that melts,
every naked, beautiful tree
the family of deer in the copse
crystal reflections of skies
i wish i could make you see through my eyes
for then you would know
just how much you mean
and always will do to me

'I love you'
