You linger in doorways. You did it again last night when you thought I was sleeping. I opened my eyes just enough to see you in the shadows lit by a stray beam of moonlight. You straddled the frame between one room and another and rocked back and forth on your heels deep in thought, wavering, I think. You don't like to be pinned down to one place or another, you feel trapped sometimes by what we have fallen into and you fear there is no way out that will not cause you more pain than you can bear. Remember, though, that every door that closes can be opened again and that this between us is not made of iron chains but velvet ropes. We will hold each other as tightly or as gently, as need be, and that we could be together for eternity or just a few more nights and neither one of us would be broken permanently. As if you hear my thoughts you cross the threshold and slide back into bed beside me, and I smile at your satisfied sigh as you curl body around me. There are no traps in love, only doorways. |
