undercover closet poet?

i hold you closer to my heart

than you may think

i sleep with the one thing i can cuddle with

and pretend its you

the soft gentle touch of a teddy bear

that symbolizes

what we used to be

so long ago

i wear your tee shirts

just hoping to catch your scent just one more time

i look back through our memories together

the pictures, the poems, the many tokens of our love,

thinking of what used to be

and what i hope still to be

i still love you

whether you believe me or not

i want to hold you in my arms

feel your tender lips against mine

to know everything is right again

until then i am lost

not whole

empty inside

come home, my love,

come back to me

i love you

and always will.

i love you.
