In your absence I feel it.

The ache…constant.

Wanting the feel of your loving touch.

The need…all consuming.

Only you complete me.

Making my soul whole.

The longing…breaks me down.

Stripped bare to the bone.

At my weakest without you.

My mind wonders.

I think of the distance.

Then I see your smile.

I think about the struggles.

Then I hear your laugh.

I feel you surround me.

Embracing my spirit.

I think about the path we have traveled.

We have traveled.

We.

You and I.

Together.

The sound of your voice in my ear.

The way you link your fingers in mine.

The way you love me.

The way I adore you.

I see you in a sunrise.

I hear you in a love song.

I feel you in the gentle breeze.

In your absence I feel it.

Love.
