He sent through a poem
Better than I could ever write
About smiles and kisses
Butterflies and wings
Peace and dreams
Flying me to lands of love
The words I hungered to hear
The words I ached to feel
And then I saw
The lines were old
They were written not
For me, they were presented
Second-hand

I wait alone
I wait for you
Surrounded by silence
And thoughts so blue
Where are you
Where could you be?
Do you know I’m here
Do you think of me?
The ghost of you
Invades my thoughts
And makes me ask the question
Why?
Just when
I thought it was over
You decided to say hello
Just when
My scars had healed
You surfaced once again
Just when
Your face had faded
It showed itself once more
But I know
It was you and me
Never us, and never will be
It was romance I was after
Candlelight and care and love
Intimate moments
When eyes meet eyes
And skin touches skin
But all this world had to offer
Was emptiness and lust
And the craving for what should be
When what was held out
Was everything
That it was not
I sit alone
And watch the sky
I watch the clouds
Go floating by
I sit awhile
And think of you
I think of all
That we went through
And I know that
I never have
And never will
Love anyone
As much as my heart
Cries out every day
Every hour
For you
Moving on
Moving up
Growing older
Growing wiser
Drifting further
Drifting onwards
Away from me
Away from here
Away from where
We used to be
I miss you
My heart cries tears
I wish you could be
Right here with me
Tonight
Twenty years
You’ve been gone
Away from this life
Its routine and strife
Free from this world
Its ties and its binds
Fetched by eternity –
Transcendent of time
I wanted love
I let you in
I let you stay
Until I no longer
Could run away
And now the pain
The pain sears deep
And even though I loved, I lost
My tearing eyes refuse to weep
My flesh aches for yours
Just one more time
To feel your arms
Protecting me
I yearn for you
My lover and friend
I close my eyes to dream
Sweet dreams of kisses
So soft and delicious
That will never be
Again
