And now I
Know why I
Dream of you
Beneath the years
Of hating you
Are the hours
Of missing you
But while awake
All I think
About is why
Did we end
But while asleep
All I dream
About is how
We ever ended
Yes you are
My waking nightmare
As you are
My nighttime love
Lay with me
Let me paint
You with words
Let me strum
Your hair like
A harp let
Me tap your
Tummy like a
Tympani let my
Fingers dip in
Loves water colors
And draw circles
Across your brow
Down the cliffs
Of your cheekbones
And pool in
The hollows of
Your throat lay
With me and
Let me look
Into your eyes
And see stars
So far away
Yet close enough
To touch stay
Lay with me
Delay with me
Let this night
Last into the
Day with me
Love indeed is
Magical it can
Be seen felt
Or even tasted
It can be
Heard and said
Though itself is
Invisible what miracle
Such a thing
Is to be
Everywhere and
Nowhere at the
Exact same time
It’s always something
And never nothing
It’s always given
Often received frequently
Forgiven never forgotten
It’s sometimes laughing
Too often crying
You my dearest
Are that same
Love to me
One of the
Hardest things in
Life that I’ve
Learned is that
Those that love
Often and loose
Are plagued by
The memories of
Those sweeter times
At first those
Memories cause gut
Wrenching pain but
As time passes
The torture moves
From my mind
To my heart
Where they sing
The joyous songs
Of having loved
Bringing great comfort
