Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

I ache for you
When you’re not there,
Your absence fuels
A deep despair,
I feel so lonely,
Incomplete
Without you sharing
Each day’s beat.
Without your kind
And listening ear
I don’t like life
When you’re not near.
But sometimes when
We reunite,
And in your arms
You hold me tight,
I feel so glad
We’ve been apart,
When you were gone
My lonely heart
Helped me to understand
Why we
Were always, truly,
Meant to be.
And as I grip your hand
So tight,
That absence makes
Us feel more right.
