MISSING AGAIN

The tenderness
I feel for you
Is so deep
My heart
Is filled
With
Softness
Longing
Vulnerability

I never imagined
I could miss
You
More than
I missed you
Before

The missing of
Decades
The reuniting
Of a year
The missing of
Months
How can
This missing
Be even
Greater?

The layers of
A life
Lived
Without
You
Newly
Known
My Love

As if the depth
Multiplied
By my years
As if the width
Multiplied
By my tenderness

I have no way
To sort it out
And I
Choose
This
Over
Never
Reuniting
And I
Choose
You
As long
As I
Breathe

For 3 decades
I prayed
For you
For me
For us
Now
I pray
Again
It is
Never
Too late
To
Pray
