Wishing you were here does not make it so;
Extraordinary surprise, waiting
Holding onto unsaid words; what I know
Creates an inner need that needs sating.
Wishing you felt so exactly the same
Craving what has not been inside so long
It is unfair to you to force equal, no blame
Should rest on one whose spirit is so strong.
But, wishing all that I wish for can drive
A chasm that could not be crossed inside
Ceasing feelings that would die, not so thrive
Pulls me inward, keeping silent; I hide.
Oh, wishing you felt like I truly do
Wishing I 
the nerve to say I love you.

Told like a true lover indeed! 🙂

There is no greater gift to give than one’s heart. “Beautiful” doesn’t do justice to it – but then words sometimes fail all of us.

Absolutely beautiful! I am familiar with your writing style; it’s one I often use when unable to form words into intelligible sentences when coming so deeply within the heart. I felt every emotion.
