The longest short weeks I ever did know.

A few short weeks.
Only a few short weeks
Long with frayed patience 
And empty heartbeats.
My full heart beats,
Over-running, overflowing
With a lonely, empty seat
For you.
I must be the loneliest person
Who ever heaved a heavy sigh!
The people around me think they're alive,
But they don't know life,
They are dead to the knowledge 
Of what it means to really fly.
But I know the sky,
I've felt the moon sigh,
I know what it means to be really alive.
It means holding you,
And dancing under our spotlight;
The moon.
Life means breathing alongside
The rhythm of the sighs
That escape from your lips;
Like the echoes of your 
Eyes.

  7. That "absence makes the heart grow fonder" cliche is really on target. I think another part of this is that it the pain of loneliness does make us feel alive.
