Distance

The night gets more beautiful when I picture you.

Even though you’re not here, just the mere thought of you makes me smile.

How I remember your onyx hair shimmering in the moonlight.

Your ruby lips how they used to shine and tremble whenever I was close.

I still stare at your picture time and again.

How you stare softly back at me. Almost as if you were still here beside me.

We parted to soon.

Torn from my grasp.

My world is a colder place without you here by my side.

But you are still my heart.

Now and forever.
