Wish You Were Here

So long, a staple, in my life you have been.
Gone overnight now it's just a remember when.
Soon enough I'll see you and caress your face, 
surrounded by love, a feeling I could never replace.
But for now, as I write this and think of this empty bed. 
I howl for you every night at the moon and think of every word you have ever said.
Enclosed by a capsule and to my luck, the opening is activated by Time.
 so my love in a few months time
 I will be able to hold what is ours, what is mine, 
Your hand and heart for all of time.
