What can I do ?
My mind always brings me to you.
I reach for you, but you’re not there.
I feel your spirit, everywhere.

This longing increases every day.
How I wish you were here with me to stay.
It’s so much easier, when I’m asleep.
During waking hours, my yearning peaks.

Creator help me, I just feel SO much.
My love for this man, I so long to touch.
Kiss on his face, and gaze in his eyes.
A caress from him, would have me paralyzed.

I come to this river, and look every day.
Although I know you’re not here anyway.
Still I look to the ripples, to bring you near.
Yearning so much, to have you back here.

I try not to miss you, really I do
But, I can’t stop my mind
from thinking
of YOU
