Missing You

By Tanisha Samuel

Your heart beats at one with mine,

Every time it stops for that slight second, mine stops too,

Then they beat again keeping in time with one another,

When I’m away from you I feel cold and long for your warm touch

I feel empty and long for your love to fill me up

I feel lost and need you by my side

To keep me going in the right direction

I long to be wrapped in your arms

Held tight and to fall asleep with you by my side at night

These are the things I crave

When I stand there staring at you grave

Here is where you lie

When I first lost you I wanted to die

But for your children I carried on

Because I see you when I look at our daughter n son

Happy Valentine’s Day
