The sweetest of Sorrows

Why do I allow it
this sweetest of sorrows
I feel only
when we are apart
for you are only
a thought away
I find myself
looking for you
gazing out my window
expecting you
to come to me
waiting
lost in daydreams
of all we could do
once we are together
wll you come to me
I wonder
if I merely wish
for you to be here
do my thoughts
find their way
to your heart
in this silence
when you are there
and I am here
and the sorrow
is so very sweet
