The state I’m in, is one of torment
One of agony and grief, filled with regret

A person can have sixty thousand thoughts a day
And all of mine, have to do with you, some way

I dream of you all day and night
Reliving memories and future delight

But sleep never comes, I can never get rest
I guess that comes from a soul that’s possessed

Possessed by a lover that doesn’t want me
And depressed because you want to be free

But even still, with all this pain
Deep in love with you, I remain
Even more now, I can’t explain
Being apart is simply driving me insane

There may be a day, that sleep comes again
That food regains flavor, I just wonder when?

I fear it may be, only when you return
That then, this sadness and pain I’ll unlearn

That with sharing a bed and a quiet meal
My heart and soul will start to heal

But until that day, I continue to yearn
For the day that our hearts can resume their loving burn

Do you believe in ESP?
The connection of two souls
That some people have a connection
that makes two parts a whole

Do you believe our souls are aligned?
And that sometimes we can feel
What is on each other’s mind
And it turns out to be real?

I never really thought about it
but I think it may be true
I think I could sense how you feel
It’s part of me and you

And at the moment, I can’t say why,
But I feel this way inside
I feel that you are thinking
And I’m somewhere on your mind

I hope you know I love you
And if you just want to reach out
There’s nothing that would make me happier
I know that without a doubt

I’ll try to keep my distance
At least for a little while more
But I face inner resistance
Staying apart, further opens this sore

It resides inside the center of my heart
The part you took with you
A wound that only can be fixed
By your love if it’s renewed

The hardest part of these days
Is that everywhere I go and everything I see
Reminds me of you, in so many ways

The beauty of the city, when I walk out the door
Shining bright for me to see
Reminds me of what we had before

I avoid at every cost, the places that we went
It will just further my fall
Into this deep dark descent

Of missing you and loving you as much as ever
I’m holding on for dear life
If you come back, whenever

My hope is strong as is my resolve
Because I know in my heart
This love will never dissolve

So I fight through the pain and embrace the struggle
With the hope and belief
We may have another snuggle

But until that day, the days will remain dark
Until you return
And on our next adventure we embark

When I miss you now all I do is write
It may hurt my heart, but that I can fight
Put pen to paper and be contrite
All the while loving you with all of my might

I know I can’t call to say hello
Or even a text would be met by a no
So the options are limited, no way to go
But writing poetry for you, is all I know

It helps me to feel a little more close
Connected in some way, a tiny dose
I’m not sure what a therapist would diagnose
But I know its ‘cause I love you the most

And I wonder, if you could read what I write
Would your love for me feel a little more right
Would you think of me when you doze off tonight?
Would the thought of me bring you a little delight?

I saw you in my dreams last night
I guess, what else is new?
But this time felt so different
It felt so real and felt so true

I woke up today thinking
that it might actually have been real
Only to be reminded of the hope
and heartbreak that now I always feel

So I dragged my sadness out of bed
And went straight to the floor to pray
As the tears started to flow and I spoke to god
I asked him only for you today

So maybe he can make it so
And help you to realize I’m for you
That my love is all you want to know
And know that our love is true

It’s strange to me, I wonder if you feel the same
But when I sit back and ignore the pain
I think to the future and what it will be
I still always see you, right beside me

I’ve had this image for many years
That hasn’t been washed out by all the tears
Despite being apart and all the heartbreak
I know when I see it, it’s no mistake

Your hand in mine as we travel the road
The road unknown but with love its bestowed
The path for us it's out in the distance
I know we can get there with a little persistence

So with patience I wait for you to come around
Because true love can’t be fully unwound
It will always be there, like me waiting for you
To come back to my arms and show you its true

My love for you and our souls intertwined
That thing that most people only hope to find
It’s not always clear, not always defined
But you know how it feels with your hand in mine

How can I find the words to say to you?
After all the ups and downs we’ve been through
Together apart like a true work of art
Our love tells the story from the deepest part of the heart

It hasn’t been perfect, I’ll admit that
Not void of challenges we’ve had to combat
But as I sit and think for another day
There’s no one’s love for which I’d rather pray

As I did today and the day before
And will tomorrow from my floor
I’ll thank god for introducing us, first
And the next part I have rehearsed

I tell him how much you mean to me
And everything I love about your personality
And talk about how amazing you are
And how none of my feelings change from afar

I thank him for the last 5 years
The laughter, the kisses, and even the tears
I acknowledge how much you’ve helped me grow
And that you’ve been the most important person I’ve known

And then I pivot from all the blessings
And address the thing that is far more pressing
As my voice will crack and lip will quiver
I ask for your love could he please deliver
I explain again you are my soulmate
And what I would do for one more date
And once I finish professing my love
I kiss my hands and look to the heavens above

And ask he deliver a message to you
Of course, it something you already knew
I ask that he tell you I miss you so
I love you more than you may ever know

But I know there’s a plan, for us to unite
You may soon agree that I was right
And that’s what I pray for and try to foresee
That day that you remember it’s always been me

And when you come back, I’ll be lying in wait
Nervous and excited for our last first date
But as soon as our eyes lock and our gaze is sustained
We will remember that our has always remained
