Longing for You

Last night in my thoughts, an image of you came in shimmering light.
My tears glistened in the reflection brought forth by the ache in my heart.

The dark drab clouds rolled in, separating me from the suns warmth.
Just as your departure did, keeping us from basking in each others smiles.

Oh the trembling in my soul, craving the gentleness of your touch.
The bitter chill of the emptiness, thirsting for the warmth of presence once again.

The picture of your return to me is yet to distant to touch but,  yet heavenly to imagine.

I hope in our absence from each other, our hearts will grow fonder.
The clouds outside, will shortly pass, clearing the skies for our bright reunion.

As my love for you is as real as the moon and stars.
You have burned my heart with your brightness, making me willing to surrender myself to you.

I will try to be all that you desire. For my love for you will be never-ending and shall continue to grow throughout the ages. From this time until forever.

But for now I must go and close my eyes to await the angels of sleep.
They seem to make the pain of your absence vanish for the time.
For in my dreams we walk together. Just as it should be.
