A Simple Longing
I wish that I could put my arms around you
feel the warmth and softness of you
catch my breath on the fragrance of your hair
and feel you breathing against my neck
as I murmured to you
all of the ways I love you
and everything you've always meant to me.
I would gladly abandon that wish
if you could be always well again
as once upon a time you were.
