A Substitute For This Loneliness

Another charming woman is sharing with me what I used to share with you without guilt, even without a sad feeling or thought: to find a substitute for this loneliness... for that deep void you left inside! The cell phone always rang at the end of the evening; and I was so thrilled to hear you at the other end: to listen to the sweet words that were able to turn an uncaring man into a gentler and kinder one... and I learned how to care! Oh,how I long to hear that voice again, and like a dream that needed litttle dreaming: you came knocking on my door at dawn, and I let you in without hesitating... so earger to touch you like nobody could; so impatient to invent a magical world! Another night is coming to haunt me mercilessly with the beautiful memories and secrets of two close hearts loving endessly; what other choice do I have...if not look away, and tell myself that you don't exist in my thoughts... to find a substitute for this loneliness?
