Being apart from you

Being apart from you
is even harder than I
thought it would be.
I try to be logical
and tell myself that it
won't be forever,but that's
not much comfort
when I really need to
touchyou and kiss you
and love you.
Sometimes I close my eyes
and hold a picture of you
in my mind and imagine
all the things I'd say
if I had you here.
But no matter how beautiful
the picture is, it will never
compare to the real thing,
to looking into your eyes
and whispering your name
and kissing your lips.

I miss you so much,
and I can't wait
for the day
when I can stop
holding on
to a daydream
and start holding you
in my arms again.

Love Always, Ashley
