Ember

I cannot see or touch you now, you're far away from me. But in my mind your hazel eyes are all that I can see. I feel your breath caress my ear, your hands that stroke my face. But when I open up my eyes, you're gone without a trace. There's something turning deep inside, an ember long gone dark. It pulls me closer, tender flames igniting from a spark. I feel as though the universe has turned its gaze on me, and cast me forth to be with you for all eternity.
