Missing You Poem by Rik Bertrand

Together we have our differences but we are one.
Together we sometimes allow our emotions to hinder our feelings.
Together we live in both harmony and strife.
Together we are intertwined in life and love.

But there are times when we are not together.
There are times when we are distanced by many miles.
There are times when I am alone without your touch or your smell.
There are times when I think that there is no life without you.

I miss you so much that I cry out in the night your name.
I feel pain in my heart that bids your forgiveness for parting.
Although the pain and the dreams are torturous, I praise their presence;
For they are the reminder of what I miss most in life, YOU.

I miss you my love, you are my reason for being,
You are the breath that fills my lungs with the very oxygen of life.
You are my goddess of love, my princess, my lady of the night.
I love you with all my heart, may we always be together, even when apart.
