Longing

She rises up from restless sleep
To greet another day
She wonders if he thought of her
As he started on his way
The first thing on her mind was him
And her love swells like a tide
She always starts her morning out
Wishing he were at her side

She looks up with saddened eyes
To catch a lonely stare
The lost girl in the mirror sighs
And brushes back her hair
For just a brief few moments
She smiles a secret smile
Her finger reaches out to trace
I love you, on the tile

Memories so bitter sweet
Go rushing through her head
Thoughts of how he held her close
As they shared the same soft bed
Music, wine, and candlelight
Making love at break of day
Then the sadness of A brave goodbye
As she slowly walked away

She knew when it all started
Some days would feel this blue
Real love is worth the price you pay
And she knows this one is true
So she pulls herself together
As she whispers out his name
Not knowing many miles away
He's whispering the same.

this line made me cry

Memories so bitter sweet
Go rushing through her head
Thoughts of how he held her close
As they shared the same soft bed

Making love at break of day
Then the sadness of A brave goodbye
As she slowly walked away


one moment i wish i could forget even the good memories because they bring back the pain of loss, on the other hand they always do bring bakc a hint of sweetness as well.
this is a fantastic poem! awesome!

Relationships are often hard to master but if a love can last through miles, that love is ever-blessed. If he's a keeper, keep him. ;-)
