Poem: Always You

I miss the heartfelt words, the tender touch
the kiss goodnight
the words I love you,
most of all, I miss you holding me in your arms.

I miss making you smile
I miss hearing you laugh
I miss seeing the light dancing in your eyes,
but most of all, I miss hearing your voice.

I drive myself crazy
replaying the scenes
yearning for time to reverse,
for in the present
sorry isn’t enough.

Our love for one another
took a different path
losing us along the way,
there are no words to make it right,
no secret touch to make it reappear.

Only heartache from loneliness
tears from happiness,
holding one another close
attempting to feel a spark
to reignite our passion.

Each minute lost as time spins forward,
the force of this grip
pulling us back
to an attraction too hard to escape.
