“My heart only ever had one thought, one want. One need.
Despite all, in spite of all...
All my heart has ever wanted is you.”
Stephanie Laurens
Another day of
Missing you,
Hours and minutes spent
Remembering
Your warmth
Your smile,
The touch of
Your caress
Upon my skin.
If only you were here
Beside me,
Flesh and blood
Instead of a ghost
In my dreams
Beyond my reach,
Except
When I sleep.
Your poem captures the ache of longing with such quiet precision. The simplicity of the language makes the emotion feel even more immediate — as if the reader is standing inside that space between memory and dream. The final turn, where presence becomes possible only in sleep, lands with a soft but unmistakable poignancy.
