Longing for Love

A deep longing

In my heart

It goes on and on

Will it never cease?

Will I never stop

Wanting you?

My skin grows cold

Without your touch

My hands are bare

Without your fingers

Intertwined with mine

My eyes are closed

And yet

All I see

Is the image

Of your smiling face

Leaning in closer

So I lean in too

Only to realize

It was all

In my head

I pray our paths

Will cross

Once more

So I can tell you

I’m addicted

To your love

It’s my lifeline

And I’ll return it

With every breath

In my body

Until the day

I breathe

No more
