Sun and Moon

I miss your presence so much
For it feels so bad knowing we have become but distant lovers
Just like the sun and moon
We only see, but a reflection of our shadows
It melts my heart indeed
How the virgin love, we both shared has faded away

When I stretch forth my hand to hold you
Like a gazelle in a green pasture, you are nowhere around my sight
Alas; 
time has stolen and robbed us of the sweet memories we once shared

I close my eyes and all I see is a mirage of the lost fill of love
Sometimes, I wish we can grow old together
But then I realize am hallucinating

A million times, with a solemn voice i cried out
Hoping you would hear me
And come back to heal the injury your absence has inflicted on my heart
But all I see is a remnant of those sweet times
Indeed, it is with deep regret, pain and unbelief
Knowing we are, but like the sun and moon
And so we have been designed to be.

Heartbreak is a horrible pain--no pill for it, nor place of refuge in the wide-world. Know, though, that time will heal you, and the love in your heartbeat will be heard by another and reciprocated in kind. Great, honest writing! Thank you for sharing.
