A life changed

I breathe in and I breathe out
I put one foot in front of the other
Life is colorless and mundane
I get up
I go through the motions
I go to bed
I fight the urge to be near you
Your voice haunts my dreams
Your face fills my mind
Sorrow seeps into my heart
at the mention of your name
At night I find it hard to breathe

I long for your skin
a craving that never gets satisfied
the touch of your lips
the taste of your tongue
as it mingles with mine
probing and exploring
demanding yet pleading
Sigh

Your body is a map
I know it’s coordinates
I can recall every detail
every mole and scar
every freckle
I want to retrace every step
Hot tears prick my eyes
at the memory of your body merging with mine

How can life deal such a cruel fate
to spend the rest of my life without my soulmate
to have him once
and let him go
my bed is so cold
he will never grow old
forever the same age
while my life always in change
I breathe in
and want to hold it forever
