When You're Away



When you're away,
I miss your sweet and loving touch.
No one there to hold me,
And love me so much.
I long for your sweet kisses,
And wide open arms.
Your adoring love,
And all of your charms.
So please don't go away,
Let me show my expression.
And love you more,
Instead of just depression.
Say you love me,
I'll always hold you dear.
Through thick and thin,
And all throughout the year.

    Very realistic, reasonable. Straight to the point Well-written. This poem to me could become a story or a novel in the making.
