i ache at the mere thought of you
of closeness,
of being together,
of reaching and touching you,
oh so tenderly
for you are the one
who holds space in my heart
and who i wish
i could hold in return
every day
and every night
you reside in my thoughts
your smile radiant as the sun
your eyes darker than onyx
as the sun sets,
you appear
