Thoughts of You

I should be in bed now, asleep. But I sit here in the near dark of this room thinking of you.

I am, emotionally, in a place unfamiliar. I know that the beat of my heart is calling and waiting for you, but my arms are not able to pull you to me. Why must we be so far apart?

My mind relaxes at the thought of your smile… when we first see each other, I feel your head pushed securely upon my chest and I pull your warmth upon me. I miss you…

Our long distance conversations can never replace even the glimpse of time when we are together. In those moments, I see the subtle changes in your expression… the smile in your eyes and the fire in your physique.

I do not have the answer to our distance. Time used to be our friend… I pray now that he is not the enemy. Until I can hold you again, I will recall my thoughts of you from the photographs I have taken of you with the touch of my hands.
