Here I Am

Dabbling in rhyme. Not something I plan to continue.

Here I am,

And there you are.

We're not together,

And that's too far.

I sit alone

While tears trickle down my cheeks.

I can't feel whole

When I haven't seen you for weeks.

I yearn for the safety

Of your warm embrace.

I long for the smile

That lights up your face.

But the distance remains,

And we stay apart.

I need you beside me

To mend this lonely heart.

Here I am,

If only you were too.

We're not together,

But we will be soon.

This is heartbreaking and extremely well-written. I love how at first you start off with sorrow and and pain, and end with a glimmer of hope and the distant promise of a reunion.
