Always

The day grows long
as I wait for you
and all too short
when you haven't appeared.

I don't seem to see you
except when I close my eyes
and find you here with me....
so I close them often,
to be assured of you.

I take a step or two back
when the radio plays the oldies,
knowing where I was then,
wondering where you are now
and if you close your eyes
do you feel me with you...
always.

"Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less."
(Will Moss)

I relaly, really like this. I'm not sure what about this makes it so special, I can't describe it. Maybe I just understand the feelings in it. I'm not sure, but I love it.

"The day grows long
as I wait for you
and all too short
when you haven't appeared."  
I LOVE the first stanza.

Very nice. You express the universal theme of longing very well. Nice read.
