I have been at it since the morning
To find the most loving words for you

Yearning...
Languish...
Tenderness...
All words fail to describe the longing I feel, so far apart from you

Charm...
Grace...
Elegance...
None match the sketch I have of you in my mind, which I had painted, as I slowly moved my fingers over your face

Bliss...
Euphoria...
Paradise...
Nothing describes the ecstacy I feel while I sit, watching you closely, deep in your work

I read poem of the decades, to fit one that perfectly matches my agony
Of the current separation
But I'm only left longing more...

However
Few words
Comfort me..

Endless...
Eternal...
Perpetual...
They all announce with perfection, the time I wish to spend, holding your hands, while I lie on your lap...
