If LOVE means LONELINESS

To my beau, I can stand the 13-hour time difference , yet I am trying to fill every gap to conquer loneliness.

When I wake up every day,

these hands are trying

to hold the pillow tightly,

and put my face on it,

to withhold the tears from falling,

to get a whiff of your scent from my dreams.

But baby, I'll tell you

even in my dreams,

I can't smell your sweet-scented green shirt,

your reminiscent sweat,

your honeyed-wax hair.

I can only see nothing

but the same face 

when you left 

and it stays even in my thoughts.

When I start my day,

these eyes keep on looking

in every corner of the road,

hoping that, at by surprise,

you appear in the middle of the traffic jam,

or a bystander near the waiting shed,

or by instance, a stranger at my side on the bus.

Just let me do this way,

to fill every gap of missing you,

of missing you.

When I end my day,

all I can see are words from you,

"How was your day?"

that became an ordinary starter of the menu

"It was a fine day."

without you, but I want to say

"wonderful"

with you.

Your "I Love You's and I Miss You's"

are 11157.5 km from me.

I want to hear it an inch away,

and I want to hear it

not just read it

and I don't want to type it back,

I want to say it back.

You made me understand,

I have fallen in love with

loneliness

silence 

time

distance

words unspoken

gestures and smiles unseen.

And tomorrow, this poem will tell you the same.

I have fallen in love with
loneliness, silence, time,distance
words unspoken
gestures and smiles unseen.
Beautiful poem you create on your loneliness. Anyone can attached with it...most of when you look on the road or any corner to find him.....Very nice. Loved it.
