I wake up, greeted by the morning air,

Standing up my body surges with a rush of life

Your smell swells in my head, but your not there

Then I remember the embrace, when I asked you to be my ….

I stumble into my library and pick up my guitar

Your kiss is still moist upon my lip

Sitting I think of how far apart we really are

I pick up your stale drink and take a sip

I try to fumble through a favorite song

Tripping up the lyrics like I always do

I think of the things for which I long

I think of all the things I want to do with you

I look around as if lost, and then I see

Behind a book yet so far away

Your beautiful picture looking at me

Your smile sweet, as if to say

I love you.

And then I smile
