Notes on Love

I keep the doors unlocked
the blinds open
I sit by the window
looking for you.

I wait by my bedside
thinking and hoping
you'll walk through the door
so I close my eyes.

I still remember your smile
your wink
your touch
And all the "I Love You's"

It's hard to think
that you still aren't with me
not here
not by my side

It's hard to know
that we're both alone
lacking a companion
lacking that lovely passion

It's hard to feel
every heartbeat now
every beat is
Heartache
