The process of missing you
It is new for me, and it is a new kind of
Empty
In recent hours spent in your company
In quiet, in car, inside, outside
Under stars, clouds, leaves, You
You under me, beside me, above me

I am not familiar with the missing of you
Of the absence of your voice in my ear
Your breath on my skin
Your damp skin from making love
My skin bonded with your skin
I am not comfortable with this discomfort
Of missing you

I have hours of light casting one shadow
I have hours of sleep
The only time I can be with you
I am not comfortable with your absence
I sit side by side with Lonely
Lonely being my company
Just temporarily, I tell myself

Lonely, keep me company
Until, My Love can be
With me, and me with Him
Make comfort come in waves to me
The same as when You photographed me
My Beloveds eyes touching, soothing, caressing
While I stood on a beach in New Jersey
