Love

Love is a malady of emotions.

One minute the yearning is gone,

Only to return with a vengeance.

Love is a dull ache that won't go away,

Ever constant, a nagging reminder of then,

What we shared, what we did.

The lengthy phone conversations,

The discreet visits, the long hugs,

The languid kisses, the trembling caresses.

I truly, truly miss you, my love.
