Absence

Absence

I can still feel you

A residue of touch and emotion

But it fades with time and distance

The ache of absence sets in

When will I see you again?

When will I feel you again?

Let the countdown begin

To our next encounter

But time is slow when we are apart

Absence is painful and sweet

I dislike it, but it strengthens our bond

An unpleasant investment in love

Everyday I await you

Your presence, your messages, your voice

Relief and joy that you exist

When will I see you again?

When will I feel you again?

I need you, I love you
