Shadow Maiden

I see you in my heart. You pass by like a shadow. I never fully see your face and your smile haunts me. I want to meet you so bad but you never stop. Always in motion and fleeting just enough to catch my attention during the moments when I am alone. Occasionally, you pause long enough for me to survey you and it makes we yearn for you. Sometimes, you let me catch you and hold you in embrace. Our passion is so powerful it consumes us. We are perfect. Then, when you want to go, you do, and there is nothing I can do to hold you. I wish you would appear and meet me. I think I wouldn't feel so alone if you were in my life, cheering me up with just your presence. I would treat you with love's proper attention and a hope that would propell us to go even higher, into the infinite, where love is opened to it's fullest expanse. I desire you so much. I just wish I could catch you. Who are you? Why do you haunt me? I have sought you in every woman I've ever met. Yet, none has ever been you. I want to stand close to you and feel our tenderness shared. When we touch, the power of love flows through us. It makes me hungry for you. I've come to realize who you represent. I just don't know where to find you.
