30 Below Poem by Erwick Brandon

I apologize for my last submission.
I promise I don't have any doubts or suspicions.
It's just hard facing this winter without you.
Facing it alone.
It could be 40 degrees and feel 30 below.
All I want is to once again be close to you.
But all I can do is fall into memories of you.
For now love, that'll have to do.
I don't know if I'm trying to convince you or myself.
Sometimes it's hard to tell.
Seeing you twice a week is not enough.
I want more.
Why does this have to be so rough?
I know you said that this will get easier.
But I don't think it will.
Not for me.
It's only getting harder.
With every day that passes
I fall harder and harder.
Which makes it more difficult for me to stay away longer.
The day that it gets easy for me to be without you
is the day I'll give you up.
That day will never come.
This I'm sure of.
Please look my way.
At least just once.
Something to get me by during these cold bitter months.
You've never looked more beautiful.
Your gorgeous beyond compare.
So forgive me if I stare.
I will never let you go.
I cannot just be your friend.
I will not say goodbye to you again.
