Lost Love

I return to you – as I always do –

you are never far from my mind.

Although time has passed

& distance separates us,

it is always you.

Sometimes I wonder about why

we are not together – the way we should be –

do we deserve our love?

Will we be the love affair

without the ever-after?

When will I see you again?

Kiss me as if I never left with

suitcase in hand.

Kiss me when I arrive as if we

know that I will soon leave you again –

another unknown amount of time

& distance awaits us.

Touch me as if I were the one & only thing

that gives you purpose

& desire.

Touch me with your passionate hands –

Touch me with your passionate mind.

Engulf me with your eyes.

Make me sweat

in anticipation of your love.

Make me believe you are the only

one for me.

Make me never want to leave your side.

Don’t let me go.
