i saw bettye late tonight
her light was on, and i could see her stirring
i had seen her roommate in the dining room
bettye is 98 years old, and i am 79.
we are deeply and truly in romantic love.
she is more than a mother or sister, much more.
our souls light up when we see each other.
she is awake, already in bed and
happy to see me.
we kiss good night, and hug.
i am ready to lie down too.
soon we hope to be together
and who knows how/our love may bloom
