Stranded (to T.A.)

by Melanie A Bennett

I want to be with you
I never want you to leave
Why does our time together seem far too short?
It's like as soon as we come together, you must leave again...
Weekends just aren't long enough...
I want to find a way...
A way that I can finish school...a way that you can continue working...a way to make us be together...
I want to be stranded with you...
On a desert island...with the sun beating down on us...and nothing but the ocean for miles and miles...
Or maybe in a cabin...on a snow covered mountain...
Just holding each other in front of a warm fireplace...
With the woods surrounding us...so no one could find us...even if they searched...
In our own special place...with no one or nothing to take you away from me again...
Only me...
Only you...
Only us...
Stranded...Together

Author's Note: To Todd...for the little amount of time we are able to see each other each month... I wish it could be more...

A bit prosaic but it does speak.
