Sweet Jeremy
A soft spoken word,
just a "hi" from your voice.
The promise of your gentle touch
and the warm feel
of your lips against mine.
Whispered "I love you's"
in the dark of the night
with your hand in mine.
Everything you told me
pains me because
I am not with you.
Not there to whisper sweet
words in your ear.
Not there to make you smile
from a faltered joke.
Not there to hold you
when you cry.
Not there to eat dinner
by your side.
Not there in form, but
Soon I'll be comforting you,
… loving you
… showing you
… if you let me.
