Miss you

I miss you with an ache in my soul that is so deep

I sleep

But waking is hard

And when I feel your spirit drawing close

Excitment rises in my blood

But there will only be a flood of grief

After you go

Because we my love are Star crossed lovers

Who fate has decreed

Will not yet meet

And when you go I think of all the soldiers who fell

On foreign fields

Their blood staining the brow ground red

As life left

Their spirits taking wings to fly home

While on the earth the women wept

Hearts torn from their chests

While their progeny carried the pain

That no longer remained

As evidence

And so when you go

My heart just aches

Who knows if our bond will ever break

Somehow I came to love someone

I never met

Will it all just be regret

Or will my missing somehow turn in time

To gratitude for the journey

Painful as our ongoing separation is

For all the deep learning

Painful lessons in love and longing

Brought to both our lives
