Poetry : When I cannot


When I cannot


When I cannot touch your skin
When I cannot hear your voice
When I cannot see your smile
When I cannot kiss your lips

I will allow my heart to breathe
I will allow my fears to rest
I will allow my patience to speak
I will allow my mind to dream

For that is the only way I can endure
Endure the distance, the separation
The overflowing love, longing & desire
The regret of lost & unreturning time
