Some Days

Some days I just want to sit quietly and lose myself in a book, as I have been.

Some days I want to find a woman and make love to her tenderly, as I never did in my youth.

Some days I need to sit and talk and laugh and cry and share with an old friend, though they're gone or busy or both.

Some days I find are best spent investing in big pockets of sleep, often sought yet not often obtained, and I'm grateful when they are.

Some days I feel like walking in the city, a gentle hum of breeze between buildings, a roaring cacophony of traffic throughout the streets.

Some days I wish I was sitting on a pier, an intermittent wind rippling the water's surface, the mild rumble of waves surrounding me, brushing through my ears.

Some days I just want to be there when the boys laugh themselves silly while telling stories.

This day I only wish I could hold her hand in mine, use the other one to delicately rake through her hair, never losing her gaze, always in her eyes.
