A poem for my sweetheart, whilst she is far away.

I miss you my love
You waking by my side
Sharing that first coffee
Eyes meeting across the breakfast table as we plan our day
Travelling with you
Whether side by side in the car
Watching trees and fields whizz past from a train
Or rolling down a hill together on our bicycles
As summer sun burns the roadside grass
 
I miss you my love
Every time I stop to look
At something that catches my eye
Wishing I could share the moment with you
I miss the conversations
The laughter
The comfortable silences
The simplicity of just being with you
 
I miss you my love
Every time I have dinner alone
Every time I sit on the sofa of an evening
To read a book or watch TV
I miss not having you there
To curl up against me
Your head against my shoulder
And my arm draped lazily around yours
 
I miss the look in your eyes as we prepare for bed
The promise of passion
And a night spent warm and content
 
Every moment of the day
My love
I simply miss you

    That’s a beautiful expression of your love for your special lady. I enjoyed reading it. I was also hoping to see your Palindrome poem.I look forward to it. Don’t disappoint me.

    It’s pleasant to know that there’re still people who are able to love and to miss. Doesn’t happen very often. Thanks for sharing!
