Subject: Days That Cannot Bring You Near

Days that cannot bring you near, or will not,
fill my waking hours with need.
Tonight I long for the sound of your voice,
the certainty of your quick step at my front door.
I would give any tribute for the simple act
of touching your shoulder,
knowing it always had time for my tears.
I would glide my fingers across your cheek,
memorizing lines and curves
to hold against a rainy day
when your soft brown eyes no longer turn on me.
Once your letters kept my wishes warm,
but they come so seldom now
my heart lies buried beneath time's frost.

More than anything,
I still long to hold you close;
to say "I love you" and mean it
from the top of my heart
to the depths of my spirit.
Time has no meaning for love or devotion,
my feelings would not change
if it were a thousand summers
instead of twenty-one.
Still, I would hold your head against my breast,
whisper "I love you" over and over,
beyond all counting or remembering.
Perhaps if I said it just enough
it would finally penetrate your distant heart;
bring you near where days cannot -
light your eyes up once again with wanting me.
I would give my world
to see that look in your eyes
just one more time.
