I miss you

I miss you.

While I may see a glimpse of you everyday and hear your voice,

I miss you.

I miss being able to touch you without a thought;
I miss being able to kiss you whenever I want,
I miss your touch and I miss your scent.
I miss the carefree and the tinder moments.

I miss the ability to love you up close,
I miss the ability to love you out loud,
I miss being able to love you openly.

Now I must love you from a distance.
My love must now be hushed and quiet.

And I will love you from a distance,
My love will not diminish with time and space
until the day you decide to move beyond my range
Or come back to me.

Maybe with time,
My lips may touch another’s and perhaps my heart will too.
But I will still miss you.

Tears will undoubtedly flow from my eyes,
As I watch you move farther away,
With pain and hope that you’ll come closer one day.

I miss you and I will continue to miss you
Until my heart tells me to do otherwise.
