Return To Me~

Posted on: June 14, 2017 | Posted by: Alison Miller

Return to me…

Please come back…

Return to me, with your strong arms

That wrapped round me…

And made me feel safe and secure

No matter what was going on around us.

Return to me, with your broad shoulders

Upon which I rested my head

And listened to your heartbeat…

Until our breathing became one breath and I felt reassured and knew, always,

That my world was good, and would always be good

Because you were in it.

Return to me…

With your smile that lit up my world

And brightened my days

Even if we were on the phone and you were far away

I’d feel your smile and…

My world was serene.

Return to me…

With your green eyes that would catch mine across a crowded room

And the one would crinkle in a slow wink

Meant only for me…

A wink that carried promises of passion and flirtation and teasing

And my heart would grow giddy and butterflies flutter in my stomach.

Return to me…

Take my hand in yours again, wrap your fingers around mine…

Return to me, my beloved

I beg of you…

Hold me, touch me, love me, dance with me, put your hand upon my knee, kiss me, envelop me.

My body longs for you

My heart beats for you

My mind wanders to you and me and what we had…

My pulse is your pulse…

And I die inside a little each day, that I don’t have you any longer…

That you don’t have me any longer…

That we are gone and it is just me here on this earth…

Return to me, my beloved…

About Alison Miller

My beloved husband Chuck died while we were full timing on the road. We’d rented a condo for our stay in southern CA, and I had to leave 3 weeks after his death. All I knew at that time was that I had to find a way to continue traveling on my own, because settling down without him made me break into a cold sweat. I knew that the only place I’d find any connection to Chuck again was out on the roads we’d been traveling for our last 4 years together. I knew nobody out on the road, I knew grief was a great isolator, and I knew I had to change the way I traveled without him, to make it more emotionally bearable for me. So I bought a new car, had a shade of pink customized for it, bought a tiny trailer and painted the trim in pink, learned how to tow and camp, and set out alone. My anxiety was through the roof, and all I knew to trust was the Love that Chuck left behind for me. I found Soaring Spirits early on, thank god, and the connections I made through SS helped ground me to some extent. I needed to know that other widow/ers were out there in my world, because I felt so disoriented and dislocated. Through Soaring Spirits, as the miles added up, my rig taking me north, south, east and west, I found community. I found sanity…or at least I learned that if I was bat shit crazy, I was in good company, and realizing that ultimately saved my sanity. PinkMagic, my rig, is covered with hundreds of names of loved ones sent to me by my widowed community, and I know it isn’t visible to the naked eye, but I’ll let you in on a secret…she actually illuminates Love as I drive down the many roads in our country, and I can see it through my side view mirror. Love does, indeed, live on~
