This Aching Heart Beats

My dear,
see I love you.
See the strife my life has put us through.
Through the toughest times, all we need is love
is need, is comfort, and each other.

My dear,
see how I yearn for you.
How every night of mine
all I think I need is a touch from your gentle hand.
Through the darkest of nights
it's only thoughts of you that can possibly bring light.

My dear,
see how I need you.
How every waking second I stand in regret
that you're so far away...

it is said that absence makes the heart grow fonder and i fully subscribe to this belief. it is plainly and vividly demonstrated in your gentle and caring words. this man you long for is indeed a fortunate son to have your sweetness and yearning to comfort him in your absence, and, of coourse, his. well met, dear Bri. such a tender and exquisite write.

~ extremely poignant poetry... distance is very difficult to deal with...

The love and longing shines through in your verses. A nice melancholy poem.
