I Feel a Loss

I feel a loss
I feel a deep dark emptiness within my soul

I feel a loss
A hollow, lonely aching in my heart that no one can fill

Though I know this feeling is only temporary
I once looked into this abyss many years ago

But then I felt the loss to be permanent
Irreversible decisions made by hasty minds that ignored their hearts

Anguish and profound sorrow would be the emotions of the day
The day that would last months and then years

Lost and alone I would stumble through life looking to replace you
Looking to replace the only love that had ever touched my very soul

I would never succeed, never find that love again
For we were created only for each other

Only we knew how to comfort and care for one another
Only we knew how to love and bond with one another

Nothing compares or is even comparable
We found each other again and the healing has begun

But I feel a loss
My life has taken me to the other side of the world from you

While I stand in the warm tropical breeze
Gazing at a night canvass speckled with glimmering stars

You are alone in a small house, in a small town
You are alone in our bed buried deep in the blankets

Oh how I long to smell your sweet scent upon my blankets as I retire
How I miss your arms around me and your soft breath upon my cheek

I yearn to feel our hearts beating together once more
Like two lonely doves that found each other in the darkest of nights

Though I know that we share our unique connection
The bond that can never be broken despite the distance between us

I still feel a loss
I can never explain how much I miss you or how lost I feel right now

Only by returning to your arms will this pain cease
Only in your arms do I feel safe, warm and loved

I cannot go on without your love to light my way
I cannot go on without your strength to carry me through the darkness

Only one more week
One more week until we unite once more

One more week
Then I will feel a loss no more
