Description There is a very real need
for your arms around me,
a desperation for the
warmth of you next to me.

Every silly song reminds me,
you aren't here, and I feel
so lonely that I ache,
right through my heart.

Watching things go on,
while I need you,
knowing you are elsewhere,
needing me too.

I'm sick and tired,
and I know I should have
waited to do the
impossible, later.

It just makes me feel
like I'm worthless,
but I had to do it,
for you and I.

I could no longer live,
in that fantasy,
pretending to be alright,
when we knew it was a lie.

You showed me how things
could be so different,
how real loving could be,
if you actually believe.

I'm not a plus one
anymore, and it shows.
You've changed me,
where it matters.

Is this forever?
Who know - who cares?
All I know is that you,
love me like I need.

So much to discover,
about each other.
All in the fullness
of time still to come.

I was happy to see a deviation from you this morning This connects like one of those pretty puzzles you want to buy not only to piece it together, but to frame it & hang it on your wall. Hits Home in its core of true-ness. Really enjoyed it, great writing

Glad to find you are the first to comment here !
Thank you for the support here. After no sleep, and a cough that just won't stop, I really needed a distraction. This poem is it. The imagery in your comment is gorgeous, and has possibly inspired another poem. I'm indebted to you.
