When Apart

Dearest..I have waited
ever so patiently...
No longer accustomed
to sharing my lady..

Time spent waiting
is now time lost.
My heart paying..
a wretched cost.

No longer able nor
willing to be apart.
The pain in my chest..
my lonesome heart.

The night shall be long
without your smile
My mind shall wander
mile after mile..

A nighttime full of
thoughts of you...
Heart unsure of
what to do...
Sure of only one
thing...so true
A longing ..
A missing ..
Of you.
