The Gasp For 'Love'

As a man who suffers from a lung attack and gasps for oxygen,
      so Am I when you are away from me....
How devastated he feels..........
Hopes and life feel as if there are to come to a hold,rather to an end.....
That's how I feel  when I can not feel your touch anymore...........
        The emptiness  of being lost is all I feel when you suddenly more away from my life...
         Even that beautiful and unusual wiper which you say in the morning as a greeting and in the night as a lullaby is no more.....
OH!!!.... I cry ......
I look around if at any chance I would catch you gazing at me....
I .....I just desire after your love.....
        Your love is all I long for in the ring of my life....
         When I don't feel your love , I gasp for it....
I am a human in a death bed,so helpless and one more  step away from me takes the little air I have to live on...
I am nothing anymore....
The more steps you take away through the various ways you show me your love, the more I gasp for your love.... 
Lord God!!! please stay close......
Close to me......
I gasp after your love.....
A gasp for love.... 
A Gasp of love is what I have without you my dearest Lord.....
