Poem: "Wishing For You"

"Wishing For You"

September morn
come 'round again
the wind makes
the trees sway
as the leaves
soon change color

Our room is empty
since you went away
the sheets unkempt
your scent lingering

As I sit in the same
old chair
in front of the blinking
computer screen

Waiting for the words
to come
that will make you see
somehow
make you stop in
your tracks

Last night
we had coffee
and talked for the last time

If I close my eyes
and let my thoughts drift off
of us alone
together

That special place
where we can never go
because you, my darling
belong to another

And I refuse to give in
to the temptation of
casting aside
my better angels

I need you
but I can never
be the one
for you, my dearest

I want you
but the secret garden
will be forever locked away

Our Eden
will never be
though I still
wish for you

My world's spinning
as you watch desperately
with love in your heart
as I silently fade into
beautiful shadow

How I love you still

And my forlorn heart
will cling to you
amidst the great divide
that will forever
be our guide.
