There Were Only Days In Which I Kept Missing You (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

Deep in my thoughts I did remember you
every smile, every bit of laughter and the sound of your voice,
I tried to keep you deep in the places of my memory
and with sincere love my heart did beat.
I searched for you in the veldt, on the plain while you were away
and in the city other women did really look like you
but in the darkness of nights I kept reaching for you,
I wanted to embrace you for mere moments.
I knew you as if you were right here with me,
did relive every previous moment in my thoughts
but there were only days in which I kept missing you
even if I forgave you for every bit of pain
but in these bright days you have returned to me,
where your intimate intense love is something that leaves me speechless.
