Thinking of you I can smell the essance of your skin as if your ever present
A presences that sparks a fire deep with in me etched your name in my soul
My knees tremble as I say your name softly under my breath
My ears hear your name and yurns to hear your voice.
My heart beat flutters as my mind realizes you arent there.

My mind begins a craving that can only be satisfied by you

A touch of your face to calm my breathing
Your presence in my day to fulfill my needs
Your sweet voice to calm my minds thought.
Your scent so real in calms my heartbeat..

Through everything I am addicted to you beautiful,
Dedicated to Crystal

As we walked forward,
I stumbled, and I fell,
And you reached out to help me.
You waited as I dusted off my knees,
As I tried to walk forward with you again.

But I could not catch my footing,
And the pain of watching me fail pushed us apart.
I fell through every hole,
I tripped over every branch,
And I stood to long at crossroads.

I slowed us down,
As you continued,
As you moved forward,
But still reaching back to help,

Had I only seen the distance between us.
Had I only seen how gracefully you walked.
Had I noticed the lack of hesitation in your steps.

I would not have misstepped,
I would not have tripped,
I would have not been to late,
To late to reach for your hand.

I missed my chance to walk beside you,
I was walking to slow,
I was tripping too much,
And I was looking around instead of ahead.

Now I walk this path alone,
And even tho I've tripped,
And even tho I've stumbled,
I've picked up my pace,
And began to walk with assurance in my steps.

I look forward,
Not caring what lies behind me,
I've cut off the weights that slowed me down.

I walk this road,
Ready to face all its obstacles,
Running to where we should be,
Where I've wanted us to be,
Running to meet you there,
Hoping I dont arrive too late.

I chase this,
Like a man chases a ghost,
I look for your steps,
And try to smell you on the air.

My heart yurns to see you again.
My lungs burn,
My feet ache,
But my pace stays the same.

I challenge this road,
And all its obstacles,
Hoping you arent walking on a different path.

I just hope one day we will find our way,
Our way back to each other...
It's how we get back up that matters
