I spent another day alone without you
Each moment together is a breath of air
In the vacuum of the desolate emptiness
Cascading forward in cyclical fashion
Alone in my reverie
Alone in my mind
I contemplate your moments away
Moments with others
My jealous heart crys out for solace
For tender moments together
Each like rain on a barren parched vista
Renewing hope in hopeless time
My soul craves you, calls to you,desires you
You time my greatest treasure
My secret obsession
Longing for the moment
When you finally focus not on others
Or career , or a thousand other endeavors
Longing for the moment, you are solely mine
This thought has become my cherished treasure
My hidden desire
My secret obsession
My prize for the prison of my tortured time
I had to endure watching my dream carried out with another for the world to witness
While I remained unknown
That prize is your time, your touch, your kiss
In the end, my ultimate prize
Is
You.
