Together, Then Apart

I feel your lips burning against mine
again, as if we’d never been apart.
Turning towards you fully, I hold you close,
firmly pulling you to me,
never ready to let you go.
Is it possible?  Is it true?
Are we together again after so long?
I feel my blood racing at the thought,
filling my body and mind with desires.
I kiss you passionately and inch closer still…
Suddenly I am awake,
and the only body in my bed is mine;
the only kisses and caresses
phantoms of a dream.
I wake to sorrow, the sorrow of missing you
as I realize with each day we’re apart
how much I truly need you in my life.
I wipe away a single tear as I rise
to face another darkened day
without the brilliant joy of sharing souls with you.
