The Knowing

by Garrett - Virgo

The Knowing

What do I know of her I may tell you?
Limited insight biases my notions
as I wonder what more may lie within.
I make her laugh with jubilant expression
and that comfort makes me whole.

There is a crinkle to her nose,
astride dimpling cheeks
when she evokes that endearing smile.
And there is a melody in her movement,
a song played for the yearning soul,
longing for the chance to dance with her
just one time.

There is gentle truth about her way.
It is the fashion in which she bids her friends,
or others that may know her
for but a while.
She walks with the angels,
yet finds her place here
to share joy in our finest hours,
and to mourn with us our darkest times.

She consumes me.
Of all the things I know of her,
and those that I don't,
I know there is a grievous ache in my heart
each time from her I take my leave.
It is the calamity in the man trying to surface
but realizing he is out of air.

She is my air,
my every waking thought.
And I know enough of her
to decline further insight to who she is.
Suffering the absence of anything more
than I already know her to be
is more than I could ever bear.

Reason for writing:

    This was when I knew that I was in love with Jody, but didn't think she felt the same.  However, we spent a lot of time together and it got harder to leave her company each day...
