Only the Lonely

[Guest]

[Pater]

Take my hand, not for itself,
it is not I who will lead you
to somewhere safe and calm.
 
Play my tune, imagine it
for me if you do not know it.
Its comfort I will hear.
 
Offer me your handkerchief
if you sense I am overwhelmed,
and think that I might cry

Sit with me so quietly
in ways I can know you are there.
If I drift off to sleep.

Touch my forehead as you leave,
hang your scent on morning's air.
And I will dream you have been.

Bloody hell Pater, you really are getting better and better. A lovely romantic whisper is an otherwise cold, windy world. Loved it. I assume becasue of the title it is not about a partner, it's the longing for one.

Once again many thanks for upbeat comments, Simon. Yes, it is about the longing for someone to share life with.
Cheers. Peter...
