Longing

On this lazy summer day, I miss my man
He who has teased me with a thousand words
And filled my longing for some intimacy in space
His kisses and carresses have warmed me through the lonely nights
when I imagine him beside me amid the oceans that bridge us
He has become close, closer to me than real
I hear him whispering sweet-nothings
to my eager ear and aching heart
bringing me back to the time when
his body bent over mine
our souls entwined

how i long to be with you again
because seeing you is all that matters
on this lazy summer day, I miss you more than ever
but all i have is the vastness of this world that divides us
and there's a chance that I won't find you
when my next mail comes
