one week
five days
eleven hours
forty-nine minutes
fifty-four seconds
since i last saw you
for 1,079,394 times
i thought of you.
my heart was a unit circle,
and you were its origin,
you were its center.
i listened to music
and you were the beautiful songs,
the harmony was in your face,
the melody was in your grace.
i felt nature hug me
and you were her arms.
it was dark nights,
but you were a full moon,
slowly waning to a smile
that kept my dark nights bright.
all through that time
you were here
near me --
you were oxygen,
you made me breathe.
in me --
you became my heart,
you gave me life.
you were you
and i was i.
oh how i sigh
now you aren't mine.
that the greatest thing in my mind
is only the thought of
you
only the thought of you.
but since the last time i saw you,
i did not love having only the thought of you.
i loved having only you.
i loved only you
and i still do
and i forever will do.
i love you.
