the first poem i've written in years

[campfire_light]

This Feeling, This Love

What is this?

This strange new feeling,

Taking over my heart,

Taking over my body.

I’m consumed by a need,

A longing,

For something,

Someone,

Someone I just can’t find.

He’s too far away,

Too far for me to feel his warmth,

His touch,

His heartbeat.

I feel his love,

I feel his yearning,

A yearning just like that,

Which dwells in my own heart.

I want him,

I need him,

He’s part of me,

Connected to every bit of me.

This feeling,

It hurts like nothing else,

Knowing that a part of me is missing,

A part that feels just as alone.

What does he feel?

Does he feel the same?

My heart and my soul,

My love,

He feels the same.

Soon,

But not soon enough,

He’ll be back,

With me.

I’ll feel his warmth,

His touch,

His heartbeat,

And whether he’s here or not,

I’ll never let go.
