Today is a day when I said I would be away.
The feelings that I have, so mixed though true.
I will think of you each moment, each second.
I will want to be there, with them, with you.

My heart will be heavy as I fly above clouds
My knees feel the weight of my loss.
My hands, wringing and fidgeting will tell
that the clouds are not where I wish to be.

Your face will grace the back of my eyes
as your flowing voice touches my ears.
I will dream of the moment when I return.
For you faithfully await, your arms open.

Keep me in your thoughts as I will you.
Keep me safe with your every prayer.
Wish that I might safely return again.
As I wish....as I wait to feel pure love.

White powdery sands will await my feet
for those walks, empty and not shared.
A silent meal will taste bitter without you.
My every moment will feel as an eternity.

I saw the tears, felt my own as I turned away.
Feelings so familiar from another time, day.
Keep the faith, watch for me, I shall return.
For within me, my heart, your love does burn

Oh, this is wonderful, expresses just the way I was feeling on a flight away from where I really wanted to be. Beautiful.

Kay, the emoticons speak volumes for you.
Sorry this is sad...I am going out of town
for a week soon...just feelings of what a
person might feel....I have felt them
many times before..

*sigh* oh yes, this brought tears to my eyes. It is so hard to be away from the one you love. Your words speak for themselves how much you will miss your wife. The love you have for her is so incredibly beautiful to read. Magnificent writing, Magnus.
