Missing someone holds so many different meanings to millions of people
To me; missing you sees a very deep void bury itself within my heart
Neither days nor years in the arms of someone new would ever compensate -
- for the joy you bring me: if I could not be beside you daily my life would serve no purpose.
Perhaps a person could say I was a selfish man for wanting you for myself but -
- what price do you put on love? Where does the value of love begin or end?
Can a tree live without water? Of course not and I know I can't live without you
Within the great masterpiece of life you and I were meant to be together and we are.
As I told you once before you and I did not meet by accident; our meeting was planned
Why else did I go to the market place that morning and why else did you come to be there also?
Of all the people there that day our eyes met each other with an instant recognition of a bygone age
We were drawn together as if we were meant to and the passion between us has never diminished.
Now, while you are living through your illness I am experiencing another form of missing you
This is knowing you are there yet being unable to feel your softness whilst holding you in my arms
Being unable to walk with you to our forest where the beauties of Nature constantly bring us so much joy
However my love throughout your personal ordeal you remain within my heart and in all my thinking.
So much so my orchid lady I must cease writing before my eyes become wet with tears -
- I am glad you cannot feel the pain which is living within me as it is hurting so much
Please get well soon so that we can continue our journey together through our mortal lives
Let us both smile again and let laughter forever reverberate throughout our little home.
