The lights of the city
     twinkle like stars
But they only remind me of
     how far away you are.
I hear your voice,
     I see your smile.
But they will comfort
     me for only a while.

How I long to feel your
     arms around me.
Your hair I long to touch
     your face I long to see.
No more good-byes
     over the phone.
No more long walks to
     my home alone.

If I could see your
     face before me.
If I could have your
     body to hold.
No riches would I need
For you are more precious
     than gold.


 That which gives light must endure burning
--Victor Frankl

Thank you all. . . the pain and the pleasure are sometimes too much to bear and the longing can be terrible. ..

 Love is an attempt at penetrating another being,But it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual.
