hard

It is hard to see you

just out of reach

and miss you

so much I think a heart

could break.

 

It is difficult to hear your

voice and know

that the smile

I loved is somewhere

miles away

 

I thought that I had put

away all my

childish notions

years ago.

It was too hard

to keep them.

[Alicante lullaby]

tender and saddening and distances render such melancholy to your voice...

[Jibey]

I love the beautiful construction of this... and its simple power... and I too found myself aching
