My heart aches for you.

It seems only yesterday

when I was in your arms;

We traveled across space and time

to finally touch, taste,

feel each other's heart beating...beating.

You have been my anchor

in  this stormy sea for so long.

I know there is no chance of drowning

as long as you are in my world

somewhere...

and even though you are no longer

beside me,

I know that our souls are entwined.

I can feel your heart beating with mine,

your voice whispering to me on the breeze.

I know I will see you again.
