For Julie

Where are you?
Here am I.
I long to have you 
by my side.
 
To have and hold
each passing day;
without your love
I'd lose my way.
 
A letter, a phone call 
just can't replace,
the way that I feel
when I first see your face.
 
If only I could see 
through a door opened wide,
you standing there
wanting me by your side,
 
I could face the next day
and the sun it would shine;
as visions of you
linger on in my mind

Enjoyed reading your excellent poetry today and hope to be back soon to read more Aishah. This time of year we all are so busy and I for one don't have a lot of time right now but I will try. I love reading the poetry of the many talented poets here at the Soup. Hope to be reading your poetry for many more years to come. Thank you for sharing your poetry with us and may you always find the inspiration to continue with your writing endeavors whatever they may be. Love, Carol
