A letter to a lover
With every stroke of this pen, my heart poured out
Words written with longing, and a love torn apart.
I remember your touch, feeling like yesterday
But time has gone by, leaving only emptiness.
I still remember the promises we made to each other
A future filled with love, with dreams so crystal clear.
Yet, here I stand, yearning for your return,
Your children, our precious ones, innocently ask,
"When will Daddy be back?" their voices echoing none stop,
Their hopeful eyes search for their father's love
But days turn to weeks, and still, we are managing to pretend.
In my heart, once burning flame now starts to fade,
Gone with the winds, lost in the unknown,
If you don't find me soon, I fear I'll slip away.
How can love bloom in the absence of touch,
When longing turns bitter, and heart hurt too much
My love, how can I still hold onto our past?
The laughter, the whispers, the moments that last.
I pray that you'll come back, and mend what is broken,
I left the children for they aren't mine alone.
Yours eternally,
Anastacia
