About the Poem

The pain of being separated from my husband has been a tremendous burden to carry. I cry myself to sleep every night and dream of better times for us. I often wonder if it is truly possible to leave the past and start life anew.

As hard as I try, I know, that I will never be complete without him. So I sit, and I wait, and I pray that time will bring him home where he belongs.

Longing

by Seashell

I long to feel the warmth of your skin.
Your hand, reaching for mine.
I get lost in the tenderness of your touch.
Your caress ignites my senses, and softly whispers,
I love you.

I long to see the glow in your eyes,
Your stare, connecting with mine.
I get lost in the boundless depths of your soul.
Your gaze frees my spirit, and softly whispers,
I love you.

I long to taste the sweetness of your kiss,
your lips, gently brushing mine.
I get lost in the intensity of your emotions.
Your passion captures my heart, and softly whispers,
I love you.

It's really hard for me to express how I feel to my guy in the military. I'm always looking up e-cards and poems to send, but this one expresses just how I feel. I'm missing him, but I don't regret knowing him. I'm always looking for things to express how I look forward to seeing him again without making him feel bad for being away. This poem really meant a lot to me. Thanks for writing it.
