Wishing You Were Here Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Quietly whispering sweet nothings into the atmosphere,
hoping they will somehow be heard by you, wherever you
are now, my love.

Wishing you were here with me, dancing like we used to
every night, yet nothing happens, you still don't come,
leaving me here writing late into the night.

Nothing to hold on to, preserving myself just for you,
everyone telling me there's no purpose in doing so, but
what else can I do, my dear, I love you still.

Wanting you only here with me, feeling so empty sitting
with music totally surrounding me, filling my mind with
memories of your love and our times spent together.

Our desires and passion never fading or subsiding all the
years we were together, now no more can we share our love
or memories for you're never going to be with me again.
