Rooted in Longing

I’m in tears right now
This ache for you—it’s so strong
Sometimes logic speaks
And I really DO understand
At other times my heart just cries in pain
And all I can do is wonder why
As the hurt floods my mind right now,
I just don’t care all the reasons
I only ask why you’re not here
Right now, my whole existence craves
A touch, a taste, a drop, a hint
ANYTHING of you
Sometimes it’s the hurt that speaks most loudly
Sometimes it’s the overflowing heart,
the love for you
that fills my words
Whatever you read,
please always know,
The strength of feeling
Has its roots wrapped deep
Drinking from the secret streams
Of love for you
My most-beloved friend
