Don't Go Far Off

Don't go far off, not even for a day, because --
because -- I don't know how to say it: a day is long
and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station

    I know that feeling and tried to capture something of a similar craving in my poems 'So Many Times' and 'When I Wake Up Every Morning'.

    How powerful this is, I was unable to breath when I fininshed and have to keep reading it. To have loved passionately is to understand this poem.

    This poem expresses the feeling of yearning so well! It brings a lump into my throat everytime I read it.

    It's been a while since I have missed and longed for a special girl like Pablo is describing here, but I definitely remember the feeling. Pablo is so good at describing emotions in ways that make you experience it yourself again...
