1278
1278 Days of waiting for the moment which lasts a lifetime
1278 Days of frustration, irritation, denial, and forever longing
A lifetime in the making, so long apart, so needing this,
Our first embrace!
1278 times our knees knock together, as
we strive to each other
1278 Kilometers we fall as our emotions win over our bodies
Too far to the ground, we have sundered all for this moment,
Our first embrace!
1278 Grains of sand mingle our toes, cushioning our fall unbounded
1278 Cries of “oh my god” mingle with the sea gulls in flight
As the world recedes to naught but our very souls in all of creation,
by this
Our first embrace!
1278 Seconds of silence as our lips finally reach for our souls
yearning
1278 Eons explode within us, blessings from heaven cascade for love has
been renewed
Kissing without end, tears flowing, Our time has finally come!
Our first embrace!
