Here, There, and Everywhere

To lead a better life, I need my love to be here. . .

Here. Our table every evening, we meet, making each day of the year. I just sit here, staring at the stars, waiting for him to join me. When he enters, our eyes meet, I feel a shiver go down my back as if by doing so, he's changing my life with the wave of his hand. I return his wave, and melt in the love I see in his eyes. Heads turn, and watch, nobody, including myself, can deny that there's something there.

There. She's sitting at our table, watching me approach. I think of last night, when I was running my hands through her hair. I knew at that moment, there would absolutely be no other woman in my life. As I take a seat beside her, I can sense both of us thinking how good it can be. I touch her hand, and she smiles, one she only smiles for me. Someone is speaking, but her thoughts are not here, but elsewhere. She doesn't know he's there.

I can lose myself in his sky colored eyes. Gods, I want him everywhere! I need him in my life in some way or another. And if he's beside me, I know I need never care. But that's the question: Do I love him? Really and truly love him? I find that the answer is undeniably YES! I never stopped loving him, and to love him is to need him everywhere! And as we gaze into each other's eyes, and into our souls, our bond grows more intense, knowing that love is to share. I think to the young couple we were long ago. Holding each other in a lover's embrace, each one believing that love never dies. And coming together years later, that first meeting, fate pushing us together again. I look at the box he just placed in front of me, and open it. I feel the tears begin to form, for this has become the happiest day of my life. I will no longer catch myself watching his eyes, hoping I'm always there.

Maybe she's reading my thoughts, the ones that admit that I want her everywhere. That I can't live without her, and if she's beside me, I know I need never care. My life will be complete, and my heart whole. No ship can ever fill the space in me that she occupies. She's in my mind, body, and soul. But, I realize that to love her is to need her everywhere, so I place a small box in front of her. Knowing, and hoping, that she agrees that love, and this life, is to share. I'd like to think that there's still enough of the couple we were in each one of us to hold on, believing that love never dies. I sit here, watching her eyes, and hoping I'm always there. The look on her face tells me that I will be there, now and forever.

Here, there, and everywhere. . .

Here, There, and Everywhere
by The Beatles

Here. Making each day of the year
Changing my life with a wave of her hand
Nobody can deny that there's something there

There. Running my hands through her hair.
Both of us thinking how good it can be
Someone is speaking, but she doesn't know he's there.
Knowing that love is to share

I want her everywhere
And if she's beside me,
I know I need never care
Each one believing that love never dies
Watching her eyes, and hoping I'm always there

Here, there, and everywhere
