I miss you in ways I can feel,
but have no way to truly explain.
Ways that are uncontrollable by reason and logic.
My heart stands like a lonely sentinel
looking through the windows of my soul
waiting for your long anticipated return;
An event which beckons on the horizon
with the inexorable slowness
of the earth turning coal to diamonds.
I feel like a solitary firefly flittering around aimlessly,
hoping to find you like a beacon in the night.
Has it only been a few days
since you went away?
The weight of your absence
has woven the tapestry of my time
into weeks bereft of heartfelt smiles.
I'm consumed by an emptiness and longing
as big as the night;
Only you can fill it.
At best, each day without you
is colored only in shades of gray.
At worst, each day without you
is a dark, fog blanketed night
that has no sunrise to look forward to.
I miss you in a way that
leaves the canvas of my dreams
painted with the brightly colored brushes of
the sound of your laughter,
the smell of your perfume,
and the enveloping warmth of your wonderful hugs.
My only solace
is I can already sense some of the
overwhelming joy I'll feel
when you return.
Just the hint of it
makes my heart start to swell.
This must be how a rainbow feels
as it arches toward sunshine and heaven.
Please hurry back to me!
I miss you!
but have no way to truly explain.
Ways that are uncontrollable by reason and logic.
My heart stands like a lonely sentinel
looking through the windows of my soul
waiting for your long anticipated return;
An event which beckons on the horizon
with the inexorable slowness

hoping to find you like a beacon in the night.
