Whenever we are together
I take in every piece of you
Each line on your face
The slight curve of your nose
Which hairs are sticking up out of place
I take in every part of you
So that I have something to hold on to
When you are gone
But is never quite enough
I can never fully recreate
The warmth in your smile
The love in your eyes
The comfort of your presence
And so I wait…
Clinging on to this pale imitation of you
And longing for the day when we can be together again
