Since you left for work it is pouring with rain and a strong wind is blowing
Though I know you are not here, I keep looking everywhere for you
Outside I hear the rustle of the trees as the wind whispers through their plumage
I miss you and I wish the clock's hands would somehow speed through the hours.
To millions of people love provides many differing reasons for wanting to be with someone
If I don't spend each day with you there is a strangeness living within me like an emptiness
Rain droplets are hammering against the window as if they also need more company than nature
I close my eyes but in my imagination I continue to see you and I realise how much I need you.
Sweetheart I am dying to let you know that your red orchid arrived a few moments ago
As I look at its pristine petals I realise this flower will never match your own beauty
When your latest orchid has graced us it will bend its stem and its flower will have run its course
Yet you my Orchid Lady will still be here with me and your beauty will glow through every day.
Looking through the window I see the rain has stopped and the wind has lost its briskness
The sun is beaming through the breaking clouds removing the coolness of this winter morning
This orchid, the rain; wind and the way nature's habits change with such suddenness remind me
Without you nothing seems real - this silence has its own way of bringing you into my thoughts.
