Bus stop Lover

Aryn A. Whitewolf

 

It happened in a heartbeat
years of passion rolled into a speck of time
our eyes met/ we knew desire
made love/ threw parties/ made friends/ rode horses
walked on a hundred beaches
ate cheescake in bed/ bathed each other in champagne
raised a family/ changed flat tires
adopted a puppy/ grw our own vegtables/ shopped for 
curtains/ gave each other flowers
played sofball/ cards/ backgammon/ went to 
drive-ins/ talked baby talk/ kissed
cried when the bird died/ wrapped presents/ argued sometimes
threw snowballs/ sailed/ had pillow fights
told each other I LOVE YOU every day/ lived and loved
openly as lesbians for over forty years
all in the blink of an eye/ all in an instant/ a heartbeat 
then your bus came/ and you were gone
