Array ( [sid] => 67449 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => If only you were here [time] => 2004-10-14 17:11:13 [hometext] => [bodytext] => As I sit beside the window,
sipping my latte while reflecting on my day
My mind drifts off in thought…
Coming to a halt when I focus on you
And the times we could spend together
Just the two of us
Left with our familiar conversation…
Our unpretentious thoughts

As I sit next to this crackling fire
The only conversation is that of the enkindled wood and the blistering flame
Arguing amongst themselves

If only you were here…

We would talk about our day
The busyness of it, the funny little things
We would talk about the kids
Their young joys and accomplishments

All this, if only you were here

Maybe we would play together
Strumming chords half caringly while I’d hum along
Smiling and giggling at our silliness

All this, if only you were here

When all this were through
When the fire had composed itself and calmed
When the sky had darkened
Words would become obsolete
You would be mine
I would be yours
And love…
Love would be ours

All this, if only you were here [comments] => 4 [counter] => 153 [topic] => 2 [informant] => Hopeless_Romantic [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

If only...such a melancholy piece but full of love. Seperation from the one you love is so hard to take..but, when the time comes to be united, it will be such a wonderful event.

Hopefully, that time will come soon and you can both know the joy of loving each other completely.

In the scheme of life, this "time" feels like forever..but it will pass before you know it.

This is a beautiful write as are all of your works and is especially meaningful for me...Mike

A wonderful poem so sad for a love you miss.

Maybe you will be back together one day. Fate can surprise us in so many ways.

Love Sweetangelukxxxxx
