10

a day late
forgive me my love...

i have tried so hard to put away my thoughts of you
into the far corners of my mind
so that i would not hurt so much
but yet,
you continue to surface
and i am forced to think of you...

but i am glad that you do
since in your absence
i have had so much time to think about you
and us
without any contact
simply, thoughts
memories
dreams

as i allow all this to take over
i am sad of course
missing you dreadfully
but also left feeling quite loved,
quite hopeful

for when you return
my thoughts and dreams and memories
will be accompanied by your touch
your face and smile


but for now
i will take silence
for this anniversary
in return for your safe journey back...

i love you now and forever ,

yours...
