I had never thought
that I was missing a puzzle piece
yet here you are
for you

For you
I would write a million words
and tie them together
cross oceans
vast spaces
just to reach your ears

For you
I will tame my fires
let the embers burn deep
I will keep you warm

I have been loved
I have been held in hearts
but I've kept them like ghosts inside
never to touch
always haunted
but,
you
I hold you in my heart
I hold you in my marrow
I will take you with me

You,
I will keep you close

Long time, no read, darling girl.

Liked this form and the subject, and the way you took on the subject. Doubly loved, "I have been loved / I have been held in hearts / but I've kept them like ghosts inside"

You have a great talent to connect with the reader in a touching way.  This is why I always read you poems.
