Smiling Alone

Distance cannot stop love

Smiling Alone

 

I feel alone

I

want the sheer

joy of

the pure

love we share.

 

I walk alone

I

wont give in

going to find

the way

I want to win.

 

I sleep alone

I

reach for you

but your not there

your smell is all

I have left.

 

I am reaching for you

I

wish to pull you close

across the miles

love exists

it makes me smile.

[Lonesome Traveler]

Those stand alone I's just perfectly seem to encapsulate that utter sense of being isolated, alone and just looking around on everything else with detacthment. Then again, it is optimistic, and "love exists / it makes me smile." is hopeful, and yet somehow nostalgic.

I like how you set the I's apart from the rest of the stanza, good organization!
