Oh my God I miss you!
I guess it's a bit strange,
to miss some one you
never really had in your life.
A phantom, a wisp of smoke,
from a fire burning miles away,
on which you have never
warmed your hands or heart.
At least not in 50 long years.

But this is my dilemma,
My emotional burden to carry,
My moment to moment distraction,
The quandary of my boundless joy,
And the struggle of my internal frustration.

And yet I do, in every sense miss you.
A 600 mile courtship, emails and three hour phone calls,
of wishes and dreams and as of yet unfulfilled expectations.
What is real an what is not, only time will tell.
For the now it is all long distance bliss.
For "C" Happy New Year, I hope the last one for me,
without you in it.
