With you

How can I form in words
The strength and sense of these feelings?
I need memories
More memories
With you

I need to share the world
parceled out in seconds
delivered sense by sense
Absorbed one by one
With you.

I need to sit on a quiet dock
With you
Through several sunsets

I need to build a bonfire
With you
And feel it warm and heal my heart

I need to walk into your presence
And hand-in-hand walk through
An endless chain of moments
With you

Once upon a faraway time
You
Filled a missing piece
But that hole grew ever bigger
With my every attempt
To replace you

I need…

With you
