Reunited

Hello again.

We've passed by each other often. You may have seen me. I've certainly seen you. You're too captivating to ignore. You're too beautiful. The mere sight of you fills me with needy desire, but for a time I could not approach you. You were cold and unreceptive, agonizingly unaware of those that love you, that need you.

It was only a matter of waiting. I can be patient. I can wait for you. I'll ignore my impatience, time and again, just to be with you.

Today, waiting was no longer necessary. I returned from my journey through the gray and the rain, to find that you were warm again. The summer months have pulled you from the chill, and the warm fingers of the sun have thawed each trace of cold. You welcome me with open arms. Your beauty is unbearable, but now I can embrace you.

You're cold at first, but I am able to adapt. Every step forward, you pull me deeper, creeping up from my feet, to my knees, to my hips. When I can stand it no longer, I fall into you, until you have all of me. Until I am part of you.

The embrace is shocking, but familiar. You know my body well. I have reunited with the lover that knows me like no one else. Every touch is ecstasy, an addiction so powerful that I dream of never leaving.  Wrap yourself around me, and do not let me go. I would not think of resisting you.

I cannot stay forever, but I know you'll be here another day. You'll wait for me, as I have waited for you. My patient, immortal lover. My sea.
