The pain comes quickly,

like wind within a hurricane.

My cheeks stained black from the flood gates being released.

Nothing can stop this,

nothing can prevent it.

I love you more than anything.

Want you above all others.

My life begins and ends with you.

Though I hurt like hell,

cry because you are not here,

I will stay.

No amount of loneliness will drive me away.

No amount of longing will make me give up.

I may ache constantly for your touch,

crave the tenderness of your lips on mine.

I will gladly wait till these are possible.

I will gladly accept that while we have found one another at last our time together is yet to come.

I will continue to ache long after I'm in your arms.

No amount of time together will ever be enough.

I miss you now and I'll miss you always.
