Longing for you



In the stillness of the night,
When the moon shines bright,
My heart aches for you,
As I miss the love we knew.

The memory of your touch,
Your warm embrace I miss so much,
Your eyes that sparkled with delight,
The way you held me tight.

I long for your presence near,
To hold you close and dear,
To feel your heart beat with mine,
And know that everything's fine.

But you're gone, and I'm alone,
In this vast world on my own,
My heart forever marked by your love,
As I miss you, my beloved dove.

Yet in my heart, you live on,
As the memories of us stay strong,
And though we may be apart,
You'll always remain in my heart.

    A lovely poem about love this is. It is to be admired how the writer makes the rhyme-scheme works.
    there are a number of verses quite poetic in all of this.
    Well-done!
