she waits

in a blue dress
the color of cold,
with dark eyes,
her lips striped red,
her legs a color
not unlike
the color white.
unhurried, she waits
for you
at the platform
and smiles.
fresh off a plane.
a black bag
of small things
at her feet.
you can hardly breathe
this close
to her. it's more
than just a kiss,
more than an embrace.
it's something else,
something beyond words,
beyond friendship
and for now it fills
an empty shared
space.
