Emily
I roll over in this large bed
Only to see that the space next to me is empty
It is where you should be laying
It is where I should be able to look into your eyes
And show you how much I adore you with just one glance
But instead I catch myself staring at the emptiness
Trying to understand how my one true lover lives across the Atlantic
My vision starts to become blurry
My emotions start to run together
And I am left feeling numb and hollow
How I wish I could reach my hand out
And feel your body next to mine
How I wish to feel the warmth of your breath as we speak in close proximity
And as I imagine these things, I feel happiness for a split second
But no, my world is shattered and my heart breaks
As the sudden realization hits that you are not here
I cannot see you, feel you, or hear you
You are elsewhere
And I am here
Broken from our separation
Longing for the next time I see your face
Dreaming of the day that I roll over
And see my love lying next to me
Instead of this empty space
i miss you

These broken pieces of what we were...
What we tried to be...
Together..
This is a failure somehow...
I can't fix us... and I no longer want to
I feel all broken inside and missing the thought of the love we had...
I never wanted us to get ugly...
The paints worn off and we are broken...
I still care and that makes it being over. So much worse
I can be broken alone

And we connect...
And we separate...
You come come back and I dissipate
Loving you is this ache...
This pretty little box with no hinges
I can't open it and I can't separate
This connection is killing me

I sit here missing you..
So very much
Wishing I could change things.  
But I can't
All I can I do is miss you while my heart breaks

That look...
This relationship that has gone on for years...
The other half of me...
our souls meet...
And I finally recognized that in you...
This draw of the deepest parts of who you are combined with me...
Our souls ... and I'll love you always...
In this way
My soulmate...
My soul met years ago and never realized the beauty of you

I want to remember you like this....
In the filtering light... flickering through the trees...
That perfect smile and your eyes lighting up to my face..
Things change. ..
Over years I have loved you in this spot...
In this light...
My fondest memory is you standing here...
Whatever changes life may bring....
Whatever happens to us...
I remember you here in this flickering light...
Smiling for me
