Him

This "Him-ness" feeling 
that rumbles inside 
every time I look into his eyes 

That throb 
when he smiles 
at me
And I feel all brightened up
And safe 

This feeling of caring 
deep inside 
The miss and longing 
When he is 
Far
The Dread 
when I see him walk
Away

He's gone !

The quiet cry for 
Him 
At night 

The steady wish for his
Good 
for his happiness 

He is happy 
Elsewhere 

And my heart expands ...

Is this love?

Congrat.I enjoyed ~This feeling of caring~, poem and horizon of question in which we try to live with fidelity to our wishful thinking.
