Poetry: I long for you

To serve your country we had to part
taking with you half my heart

A letter from you a letter from me
sharing how we want things to be

Months go by and ever still
my heart is yours and always will

I miss so much without you here:
the smell of your skin when you are near
the taste of your lips, that look in your eye
your arms around me when I cry
your sense of humor, your magical smile
your somewhat quirky sense of style
the way you dance like a spaghetti string
or hit off notes as you try to sing
the way you cuddled close to me
being with you safe and free

I ache inside
though filled with pride

Soldier please hurry home

    Tarry not too long.
    I miss your breath,
    I miss your song.
    I yearn for your clandestine voice
    And, given the choice,
    I'd have you

    I'll gladly smile as I think of you,
    and the little things you sometimes do.
