Longing

It was not so long ago

A pleasure I had to forgo:

Your lips on my lips

Brushing skin like fingertips.

Oh how dearly I miss you

Your presence like morning dew

Sticking stubbornly to my heart

Wishing nothing drew us apart.

Do you miss me so?

Memories dragged in tow

Of the days and nights

Everything felt so right.

I must live in the moment

For longing after you is torment.

Waiting for you to crawl back

Is like waiting for the earth to crack.

Waiting for you is pointless

I shall not remain joyless

Come again oh love

Push me back into life with a shove.
