Missing Her

Tonight your spirit flows through my heart like the air through my lungs.
Without your warmth I am similar to that of a snake that slithers along the ground.
Through of your head resting in the fold of my neck while I play with your hair fill my mind.
Your head fills the fold in my neck like the way your existence fills the gaps in my life.

A shooting star passes through the nights sky like the arrow that Cupid used to pierce my heart.
There is no greater wish I could bear to wish for tonight than to hold you close to me once again.
Every moment I spend longing for your return feels like eternity.
Similar to the moments spent in purgatory waiting for the doors of heaven to be opened unto me.

Alas the sun drives the moon to its resting place.
And the winds of time blow open the curtains that have shielded the dark from the light.
I can now see that which I've been yearning for with every fiber of my being.
Your comfort...your warmth...my love has returned to my side and now I can exhale.

The putter patter of my heart is felt in my throat.
The fold in my neck has now been filled.
The only wish I could bear to wish has been granted.
The light of my love shines bright as I profess to the world my love for you.
