Briefly

Each moment a gift
Brought by her
Thankful for the next
Yet mindful that
It may be the last
So I cherish, her,
Those brief visitations
And longer interludes
Striving to let her know
She's incredible and
Deserving of happiness

Rather Than

I would rather the Sun
Wane into insignificance
The Moon erode away
Becoming a mere pebble
Than never see again
The changing of the color
Of your liquid fire eyes
With each of your moods
The smile I require to live
Lighting up my day, my night
Need your laughter ringing
In my ears more than
I need the earth under my feet

Yearning

Each variance in the color
Of her piercing eyes
Creates yearning
To look into them
Scorching, penetrating
My very being
Deeply, endlessly until
All is forgotten and only
We remain

I don't know if you will come here looking or intentionally stay away, if what I write will help or if my words only make things worse but I have trouble doing nothing. I've hurt you and I can't change that but I've never stopped feeling the way I feel and won't ever. There are only 3 parts of my life that are irreplaceable and you are one. Anything else is meaningless. I didn't realize that I was doing anything different which hurts me more than you know. I've cried today for the 1st time in ages. I say this not for pity or sympathy but simply so you know what my life is like without you in it. My day is brighter with each word you say.
