Looking inside and acknowledging...

The Longing

~*~

In every moment we're apart,

I am missing you,

afraid my heart will

stop beating.

I know that with you,

my life has a deeper meaning.

~*~

Longing to hear the tenderness

in your voice,

to feel the comfort

in your embrace,

I wait selfishly,

wanting to share you

with no one.

~*~

I wonder if the others

you pass by each day

appreciate your presence

in their lives...

as I do.

~*~

Do they know the

depth of your

compassion and love?

And do they ache

to match their heart beats

with yours?

~*~

Even though we're not

breathing the same air,

just now,

I feel your presence,

your essence and your love,

here with me.

~*~

There's no room

for doubt

in this heart

which is bursting

with intense and passionate

love for you.

~*~

So full is it,

that finding room for hope

is sometimes hard...

Hope that we'll be together again,

in time to prevent

my heart from stopping...

~*~

See this is classical Nadine, no doubt. Very achy and longing and tender. Good writing, said all that needed saying. (Does your love appreciate your talent?)

Ency Bearis
Well versed disclosure of emotion in yearning, remarkable.
