Him

In the quiet of the night, she waits alone,
Her heart aching, longing for his tone.
Beside her lies an empty space,
A void she yearns him to embrace.

With each passing hour, she feels the sting,
Of loneliness that only love can bring.
For in his arms, she finds her solace,
Yet his affection seems a distant promise.

She longs for more than fleeting desire,
A love that burns with a lasting fire.
But time and time again, she's left to crave,
His presence, his touch, his love to save.

She dreams of moments shared in bliss,
A tender kiss, a gentle caress.
But when daylight fades and darkness falls,
She finds herself within lonely walls.

Her heart whispers secrets left unsaid,
Of dreams deferred and tears she's shed.
For she knows deep down within her soul,
That love should be more than a fleeting stroll.

She yearns for his attention, his care,
Not just when lust fills the air.
But in the quiet moments of the day,
When life's demands have faded away.

She writes him letters filled with longing,
Hoping he'll hear her silent song.
But still, she waits in silent despair,
For his love to show that he truly cares.

Yet through it all, her love remains,
A flame that burns despite the pains.
For in her heart, she knows it's true,
Her love for him will always renew.

So she waits with patience, though it's hard,
For a love that's more than just a shard.
And in her prayers, she holds on tight,
To hope that love will win the fight.

For she's a girl desperate for his affection,
Tired of being left alone in reflection.
Yearning for a love that's pure and true,
A love that lasts a lifetime through.

So to her husband, she sends this plea,
To see her heart and set her free.
For she longs for more than just his touch,
She longs for a love that means so much.

Love should be more than a fleeting stroll. I totally agree with this statement, love should be so so much more.
