Sweetheart

When you’re near me,
I hum with happiness.
When you’ve left me,
I feel a hole open up inside.
We reunite
Every once and a while,
And yet I can always simply close my eyes
And feel you next to me,
Your warm body against mine,
Your soft hazel eyes,
Your broad, knowing smile,
The small kisses we share.
I know, I can feel,
That we were fated to meet,
That we were destined to fit together,
And I know I can say I love you
A thousand times or more,
But each utterance of that simple phrase
Can never truly define
The love I feel for you,
That wells up within me,
Day in and day out.
