When I see you, anytime that might be,
It is a spirit that I see, not just a lovely form,
It is a heart warm, that gets my blood flowing,
And the knowing, what used to be,
When I see you.

When I touch you, not ever often enough for me,
I feel anguish flee, chill dissipates in warm
Touching your form, a caress of emotion growing,
And the knowing, what it could be,
When I touch you.

When I think of you, more often than you believe,
I feel my heart grieve, knowing thoughts of you
Are all that I do, for you’re not here,
Not even near, and they can be,
Dreams aren’t reality.

You really know how to choke a person up, you know that? Obviously a good write.

True enough...about dreams and how they collide with reality.

This is a bittersweet beauty...

Thank you all who read my humble words
I understand the difficulty my subject matter causes to the ability to respond.

Lori,
I am honored that I touched emotionally.
Blues,
I find less and less I want to separate dreams and reality
And often wish to step from one to the other.
Ida,
Thank you, I write much more than I post.
Sunshine,
Another is here now,
Sorry it isn’t bright and happy, but that’s expected.
