Day Dreaming of You

Days spent thinking of you

   Always I can see you

      Your presence I can feel


Dreams while awake

   Reaching out for you

      Each time you slip away

         Abandoned I feel and lost

             Many times I smell you

                 It clusters around me

                     Now settling , and the

                        Good memories flood in


Onwards alone I go

   Free yet never free
 

You are part of me

    Only hidden by the veil

        Until it parts I wait for you

this is so nice. The allusion to the veil makes me think of something in my religion. Is it significant for you that way?
