The Garden Tonight

All I see now

   Are stars above.

Life without you here

   Is lonely.

The blooming jasmine

   Reminded me 

Of the certain woman

   I marry.

These finger spaces

   Misses you, love.

Damn, they miss you

   Badly.

Wherever you are

   Is where my heart is.

Rest well, my love,

   My Andy.

This sounds simple, sweet, & sincere. Sometimes I get too tangled up in word crafting, but when it comes to love, a straightforward approach is best, like you've done here. You do a great job of conveying a strong sense of longing, but I also love how you end it with a note of acceptance for whatever reasons the two must be apart (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
