beneath the obvious joy
merely the surface shine
that is what others see
I keep the companion
love and ache
to myself
for how can I trust
any of THAT
to anyone other than thee
thee that shares in part
his own equal misery
with I missing you
and you missing me
I walk around with half of
myself tucked away
I can't stop thinking of you
even for a single day
your heart has woven
its tender self around mine
your being so far away
is the reason that I am
never again completely fine
just emotional walking wounded
longing for that day
that one specific moment in time
when 'This Parted Us'
becomes two
meant to be
together
lovers
having at last
their mutual way
no more parted
Tomorrow
how she holds for my
eyes
her own gentle lovely
sway
to walk into your open
out stretched arms
there is for me no more
appealing want
other than to be able
to touch you for
forever and a day....................
