When you find your person, Feel that connection, There’s a kind of longing that you’ll experience when they're away That you’ve never known before. The body holds just as many memories as the mind, Sometimes more. I can numb my mind as much as I’d like, Tune out my heart that’s putting up more of a fight, But I can never silence my body. My body aches for you, My chest longs to be filled. When I finally have you back in my arms, Love circling us as we hug, I finally feel complete again. I thought it would be easy, Not having you around so much. I’ll just do what I normally do, Numb my mind, Numb my heart. I know what I feel for you is real Because my body longs for you. My lungs don’t feel as if they’re getting enough air when I don’t have you breathing beside me, My hands feel empty, Weighted, If I don’t have your hands in mine. This is beyond lust, Beyond desire, This is love, This is real. I don’t need you inside me, I don’t need you kissing me, I don’t need your tongue, or lips, or hands. I just need you, Your breath, Your heartbeat. I want your arms wrapped around me in a hug, I want to know that I have you, That you won’t leave, Because no one else could take your place. No one could fill the space you’ve created in my heart. It’s molding to you specifically. I’ll always long for you, And that is what’s going to hurt the most. Because we have our own lives, (Even though mine is slowly becoming you) Our own wishes and dreams and goals. And our path for the next few years, Don’t line up… We’ll be thousands of miles apart, And I’ll long for you all the same. Because love is a string, That can’t be severed by any distance, No place that it can’t reach. I can only hope and pray, That my Heavenly Father, Will provide me with a means to ease the ache while you’re away, Or that it will lessen over time, Because every moment you’re away Will be a moment of silent suffering.

Silent Moments of Suffering
