How long has it been since I saw you?
How long has it been since I have heard
your voice?
How long has it been since I took your hand in
mine; you took my hand in yours?
How long has it been since I looked into your eyes and
you looked into mine? Since you saw my love for you?
Since I saw your love for me?
How long has it been since you held me close; since I held you
close to me? Feeling eachother's warmth radiating off one another.
How long has it been since you kissed my lips, since I too kissed your lips
with that passion we carried. . .?
How long has it been since you said "I am going to love you forever."?
How long has it been since I too said "I am going to love you forever as well."?
How long has it been since you said that it is time to go our separate ways?
How long has it been since I cried my eyes out, my heart out for you?
Since my heart has been shattered, broken into pieces.
How long has it been since my every lingering thought was on you?
How long dearest?
How long has it been?
How much longer must I go feeling this ache inside of me?
How much longer must I go feeling this rage?
How much longer must I go feeling this sadness?
How much longer must I go without hearing your voice?
Without seeing you?
Without feeling your eyes burning holes in mine?
Without wanting to hold you close to me?
To kiss you? Anything.
How much longer until I am truly able to be my own person?
Until I am truly whole again.
