And yet again you have to be away
I set the table for two
There is no one else here
Just me without you
I put your picture across from me
So that we can have dinner together
Even if it is just pretend
My heart is breaking into so many tiny pieces
The tears are streaming
I almost can't remember your kisses
I've put on your favorite red dress
The one I wore for our first kiss
The same one I wore when I said yes
I light another candle
Think to myself, sometimes this is more than I can handle
I sit here alone afraid to think of you
Knowing your heart is also breaking in two [comments] => 12 [counter] => 342 [topic] => 32 [informant] => PhantomsLDY [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 20 [ratings] => 4 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

It's another Valentine's day
And yet again you have to be away
I set the table for two
There is no one else here

My heart is breaking into so many tiny pieces
The tears are streaming
I almost can't remember your kisses

Think to myself, sometimes this is more than I can handle
I sit here alone afraid to think of you
Knowing your heart is also breaking in two

How heartbreaking, especially after I just read his poem today that he has received word to remain in Korea for another 90 days. My heart goes out to you for the pain you both feel in missing each other, but you are both so blessed if only you knew, that your love is so beautifully out there and inside you and obviously for eternity ... I envy you almost, even if that sounds crazy. You have a beautiful gift, and when you eventually reunite I'm sure if I look out my window the heavens will be exploding :))))) Stay strong and look forward to that day. ... Jan
