An Understanding   Early on I had a dream that he died We hugged each other and cried She and I sharing a pain A pain warmed by our understanding    We've never hugged in real life I'm not even sure I've been smiled at Rarely looked in the eyes   Nevertheless we share An understanding   Another fork in a road brought her to me Our understanding, long overshadowed by self protection Re-surfaced  And for a long lingering moment her eyes shined as they looked right into mine She smiled, said, "Enjoy", exuding a warmth I'd only felt in the dream Almost like a real hug
