Aloof
I sit in my room despondent and alone,
Hundreds of miles from the one I hold dear,
Missing her is the only thing that I've known,
And all that I want is for us to be near.
Thoughts of her beauty cloud inside my head,
As I long for the warmth of her touch;
And all I remember is the last thing that she said,
"Don't you miss me too much".
Miss her too much I indeed have done,
To a degree that has become so extreme,
Even more sad and lonesome I become,
And even more bleak my life starts to seem.
Being aloof is a detrimental feeling,
and reuniting is the only way of healing.

This is an exquisite sonnet. You do an outstanding job of conveying your feeling of being forlorn and torn by the distance between you and the subject of your words. I don't know a single person who wouldn't at least understand the sadness of separation. Thank you for writing this.
