I Ache
I ache everywhere
if you’re not here
whether you are far away
or a mile away,
when I can’t see you
and touch you,
I ache.
My spirit aches
as it tries to feel
what you feel
and wants to bear the burdens
that you bear.
My mind aches
from so many shared thoughts
and too many alone thoughts,
wanting you to know how much
I think of you.
My body aches
from its constant desires
to be next to yours,
to touch your skin,
to hear your voice,
to smell you and taste you,
to see your beauty
and experience all of you.
You are the only cure
for these aches I have,
some for thirty years,
others for thirty days.
I truly hope
that I am allowed
to cure some of your aches also
and may the good Lord
heal you completely
in His own way and time.
