she almost looked away, looked back and the then
dropped her gaze
he was so happy to see her that he could not stop
looking
could not stop himself from coming close and
holding her
she melted in his arms too
and there was so much heat
maybe they had missed that physical touch
maybe they had still loved each other
maybe they just missed each others body
they made love ,they kissed they spoke through
the night
sharing intimacies only they can share
it seems they missed the softness and the care
they could not sleep that night
their bodies had met after too long
too deeply aware of the other to be able to sleep
when the morning came, they parted
that too was gentle and soft
it was in the parting that the ritual of
separation was enacted again
we don't know what each took back that
morning
maybe for her it was the touch the sex and the way
he held her
also the comfort of knowing that he still loved
maybe or him it was the words they shared and the
heat of her body
also knowing that making love was the best beauty treatment for her
