Without You Here

So here again I find myself, consumed within my thoughts. My head and heart are taking turns, holding your lovely face. I have you pressed, close to my chest, but not the way I sought. I'm squeezing tight with empty arms, you're absent from my space. I'm all alone and still adrift, without you here with me. My daily life now such a chore, so lately I subsist. But really Love I'm drowning lost, within this angry sea. I'm not alive without you here, I simply just exist. I covet all those lucky ones, who see you day to day. With no idea how rich they are, they prove their senses dull. I fear the miles which separate, may hold my love at bay. Hunting my feelings one by one, my love it hopes to cull. So once again I find myself, wrapped within my thoughts. My heart and mind are sharing time, keeping your image near. I'm holding you within my arms, just not the way I sought. Enveloped within my lone embrace, so empty without you here. Started 20 APR 2013 while flying from Fort Hood to Afghanistan - Finished 4 OCT 2014 -Grafenwoehr, Germany
