since i last saw you

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.
