missing you...

I see your smile, I hear your laughter, I feel your touch... all seem real, but they are not. It's in my mind, the memory you left behind, the reason why I stay sane while I miss you.

second chances...

Hello. The only word that came to mind when I laid eyes on you again. When you left, I thought that would be the last. Our goodbye. But, you came back... only for a while, and was gone again. Part of me was glad, seeing you, holding you, reliving the magic that we found not so long ago. I almost wished that we could be together, but I did not.

Words never said were finally uttered. Feelings that were denied finally set free. Ah, if only life were that simple... And so, for the second time we said goodbye, and while still tucked safely in your arms, I put away this memory... thanked whatever brought you back, but stopped short of wishing.

you in me...

Looking out the window, looking into my soul, I see you. Slowly, I am finding my place, my little bit of heaven, my moment of bliss. For a moment, doubt crept in, causing me pain, filling me with sorrow. But... my heart felt you and my doubts went away.

I love you. It is only right that I say how I feel about you. You've always said I should know how you feel, and I guess I do, for you have shown me. Still, I know in my heart I wish to hear those words from you, if only to keep it in my memory.

It amazes me how you make me feel. Happy... content...secure... in the knowledge that there is something special between us. Time and distance matters not. In my mind and in my heart, you are here, with me... always.

A shore that witnessed countless sunsets
A wave to wipe away traces of the past
A freedom to create new memories to treasure
A hope to strengthen my heart came at last

A cry to the heavens
A wish for forever
A certainty of nothing
A love time denied

A feeling of helplessness
A body longing for your touch
A mind overcoming the odds
A heart beating for your love

A past that gave me sweet memories
A now that is spent miles apart
A future that was promised nothing
A moment of you and me as one

Dare I go on, or should I walk away?
Live a life knowing, yet always denying
That what we have is stronger than who we are
Together forever, but still worlds apart.
