To hear her voice
To hear her laugh
To see her smile
To touch her skin
To watch her sleep
To watch her wake
A longing that cannot be filled
An ache that cannot be dulled
A burning that cannot be extinguished
With youth comes abandonment
With youth comes irrational decisions
With age comes responsibilities
With age comes practical decisions
I long for her
She longs for me
But because of responsibilities
We will never be
