A Poem

It is when

I feel

the loss

of your presence

that I

know

what you mean

to me

It is when

I feel

your absence

that your presence

lingers

and surrounds me

like a pleasant aroma

It is when

I am hungry

for your touch

that I know

how much

your love

fills

and fulfills

It is when

I cannot

see you

that I see you

and when I cannot

hear your voice

that your words

ring in my ear

Your love

is near me

when you are present

and surrounds me

when I am not near

so that I will know

the strength of our love

always
