MISS ME A LITTLE
by Elisabeth Wingo
Miss me a little
but not too much,
and I will give you a small part of my heart, also.
For when you share an experience like ours...
Hello,
I love you
And goodbye
Beneath the stars and
beside the crashing waves.
It is inevitable that your heart should call out for mine
Maybe even scream for it, a little
As mine does for yours
And for your arms.
But some things can't be changed
Moonlit walks
And a kiss shared on a deserted beach
And some pleasures are only for a moment -
and never again.
Or only in dreams.
Or only in years to come.
Or only in prayers and poems.
So miss me a little
but not too much.
