absence makes the heart grow fonder
but what does it do to the rest of you?
watery eyes, framed by damp lashes
tear stained cheeks, mouth turned down
but only at the tips
arms, wrapped around your body
thoughts, drifting between past and present
fingers, mindlessly tracing the same patterns
you used to draw on me
but its okay
my heart is fonder.
Saudade:
saʊˈdɑːdə
Brazilian Portuguese: is a deep emotional state
of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing
for an absent something or someone that one loves.
