Today

Today I’d like
to try you on
I think your
sweet hello
would fit
just fine
the perfect glove
for a withered hand
that used to
shake mine
in the days when
we connected
those days are gone
today we must
be content
with virtual hugs
and yet
your sweet hello
is what I need
it fits me like
the summer breeze
when heat waves
linger deeper than
the lungs can sweep
the air and then
I’d like to see
if tomorrow I
am still here
can we resume
our talks and dreams
I long for them oh
yes I do I miss
you friend do
you miss me too?
