THOUGHTS OF YOU
.
The days are so long, with just my memories to 

keep you fresh in my mind. I so often see your 

eyes twinkling like the stars on a dark night, I 

see your gleaming smile like a lighthouse

guiding the ships in the midnight hour. Your 

voice I seem to hear when you're not around 

and if I listen closely, I sometimes hear the sweet 

nothings you often whispered in my ear. The 

times we are apart seem to tug at my heart with 

a pull I can't resist. I wonder how it would be to 

be lying next to you, having your arms wrapped 

around me, sharing a time that leaves our face 

glowing with radiance from a tender kiss. The 

excitement only your closeness can bring, a 

moment my body yearns for. In the late hours 

when I close my eyes I pray for a dream of you, 

just so I can have you close to me, feeling the 

softness of your lips, a moment I will always 

treasure. For now I will just have these thoughts 

of you until once again you can make them real.
