the absence of yourself is an ugly void
although i am close to finding you
i somehow still feel lost.
i wonder
how will it feel when i find you?
will the suns rays feel like your arms
encasing my entire being?
will fulfillment taste like
the sweet honeysuckles from those
happy summer days?
will my lips open so widely
with a smile so wild
that my lips chap from the humid air?
will my imagination
light up like fireworks reflected
on the mirror of our best memories?
my heart, my mind, my body
they long for you in a way so inexplicably strained
the vines grow out of my ears
weaving my mouth shut
creating a prison of my own thoughts.
only you can cut me loose.
only you
can make me whole again.
