Separation Anxiety
I open my eyes and reality hits,and I realize that you are gone.
It takes a few seconds to clear the fog,
and then I know I'm all alone.
The nights we share are monumental,
a passion that knows no bounds.
Yet, the morning after, when I awake,
the only thing to recall are the sounds
and sights of love we shared once more.
I think of how our lives have become one
the way they were so many years ago,
finally softening my heart of stone.
I love you more than God should allow
any one person to ever be loved,
but I thank Him daily for bringing you back.
It's like the stars have all moved.
Time will be on our side this time
and I will show you that I mean every word
when I look at you again in fifty years
and kiss your lips like it was the first.
I see those eyes that made me swoon
and I smile knowing the love they show.
And even when you are gone from me,
it is only a short time apart, I know.
Your scent, your taste, your skin so soft
is enough to drive any man mad,
and when I am away from you too long
it's nearly more than I can stand.
Your beauty is more than it has ever been
and I feel so lucky that you're at my side.
And when we are with our kids as well,
that is a day I look forward to with pride.
Abscence makes the heart grow fonder,
truer words have never been spoken.
Being separated from the woman I adore
only leaves me feeling broken.
I know you love me without saying a word
because it is in every move you make,
whether that move is beside me in public
or in private making the foundations shake.
We will be together soon, this I know.
Until then we will have to make due
with the time God give's us together
and you at last can say, ''I Do.''
