The sky seems lost now,
I wonder why,
The stars blink wearily,
Hiding the one I seek.

It has been,
Too long it seems,
Since I last beheld your smile,
That lit up my world, inside and out.

This fire is too hot for comfort,
I crave the cool winds you blessed me with,
When you were here,
But not, hence the discomfort.

Now, when I close my eyes,
It's those rings of hazel that haunt me ceaselessly,
Those impish lids framed with dark lashes,
That smile, that made me write sonnets.

A dagger in,
Is how my heart is, when I see,
The memories you left,
Those promises we made, that hope we had.

I wish to talk, dear friend
Just once to you,
Who sleeps among the stars,
Who watches over my every step.

I wish only to see you, just once
A glimpse,
so I can rest easy,
Knowing my worries were for naught.

My trek through these woods,
Make me weary,
I wish for the end,
Just so I can see you soon.
