I Miss My Love So Very Much

Not seeing you from day to day,
takes a toll inside my heart

Writing words to chase the hurt,
but still there’s pain cause we’re apart

It’s like the desert that misses the rain,
a barren land so parched and dry

Needing the water to soothe the ground,
that fluid love from in the sky

No substitute can take your place,
this earth has nothing that it can give

To cure the agony from day to day,
that I survive somehow to live

I grow so restless in your absence,
I need you close to feel your touch

I long to hold you in my arms forever,
I miss my love so very much

Knowing that you are stationed away adds resonance to these word.

I know right! Would you believe I actually wrote this in Arizone in 2010? Crazy, you'd think over here in Kabul, but nope Grand Canyon State, USA! Thanks Rick for stopping in! MC
