Gone

your gone-
in a place where
I can't touch you...
hold you,
feel you,
kiss you...

it's like the days before I met you...
lonely days-
trying to keep my mind busy,
reading a book,
watching a movie,
cooking food,
but my mind wanders-
to you...
in that place of cold cement and bars-
alone with your thoughts-
as I am

i am lost
without you by my side,
though only for a few days...
it feels like an eternity...
so far

but my thoughts grant me peace, too
because I think of your words,
the words you said as you went away
"don't worry baby, it'll all be over soon..."
and the way your eyes looked as you promised me this-
I believe you.

i want you here with me,
like it used to be..
laying beside me in the night,
clothes off,
sweat on our faces,
out of breath
from making love..
then,
hugging,
kissing,
touching,
laughing

i need you here with me baby....
the days seem long without you-
I need to hear your words,
when you tell me that it'll all be alright...
I need that now...

only a few more days,
a few more moments-
I try not to think....


wake me when it's time.....
