Whenever you leave me
I find myself
listening
for your heart-beat
within the songs
you linked me...

I search out
your smile reflected gently
within each emoticon
and lol message sent daily...

If only your touch
could be so easily found
amongst your words
offering some semblance of sweet comfort
to my aching heart

so until tomorrow
when you again reach out
to hold me close

I bid you goodnight and God speed
for time apart is truly
such sweet
sorrow.
