I’m caught up on all the little things
Watching the world pass by
When nothing else mattered
But the Spark in your eye
I look for the way your hair
Cascading in its vibrant
Falls over the soft angles
Of your face
In every strand
Lives the comforting scent of you
I listen for
The sweet honey of your voice
Coating my entire being
With its tremors
Of pure delight
In your laugh
The sound of joy
From 1000 children
I feel for
Your embrace
Enveloping my very soul
Oh how safe it felt
In your arms
As if they could reach out
And push every pain away
It’s not the fights
Or the long sleepless nights
The confusing arguments
That led to broken hearts
Or the deafening silence
From the hundreds of miles
That separate us
Those things are easily forgotten
And much easier forgiven
Accepted and understood
It is the agony
Of knowing that
You are no longer mine
But I am forever yours
That keeps my heart breaking
