I wish you knew how much I miss you. The softness of your smile. The look in
your eyes, where diamonds sparkled. I miss the comfort within your voice
which draws me into your embrace. To share a wonderful kiss, which leads to
another and another. I miss watching you walk away, to another room, admiring
your shape. I miss massaging your feet, brushing your hair, and the way you
sigh when I release your sigh.
 
I miss that comical laughter that has always taken away my frown when things
have gone wrong. I miss the times we cuddle every chance we can, listening to
romantic love songs as I kiss your neck and tease your ear. I miss your touch
darling; I miss it every day, in every way. I miss our walks and talks, and
making love in magical ways. I miss standing in the shadows of each
accomplishment you achieve, my eyes smiling back at you!
 
I miss cooking for you, I miss helping you bathe, and how I miss drying every
part of you. In truth I miss everything about you, even though I have never
held you in my arms once. You are the one I have yet to meet, the one I dare
say hi too, the love I find waiting for me in my dreams. How we will meet,
and cling to each other thru all of life's trials and times of celebration, I
do not know.
 
But I miss the night when it grows late, and I hear you call and beckon me to
lay in your arms, chest to breast, listening to our hearts beating as one. For
now we share a different path, you are up ahead of me, walking on a path I have
not yet found. I wonder what you would do if on that unexpected day, you looked
into these blue eyes, saw a smile that whispered, you are a beautiful woman. I
wonder if you would pass me by, or if I would find the courage to say hi?
 
Life owes you and me nothing. We share only one common thing: We share a short
life on this earth, each lonely, yet each alone. What does the future hold for
us? Dare I dream of "US"...or do I accept this life as one? When I fall asleep
tonight, perhaps we'll talk about the "what if's, the possibilities, that the
qualities you seek, are found in me, and I in you?
                                                                                                      
Perhaps you will share my days at my side, instead of only in my dreams? Until
that moment we know the answers, I will miss everything about you!
