Go LB!

I miss you, I want you and I love not because it’s Valentine’s.
Again.
Over & over, there’s you in me.
Who knows how far or exactly when the longing stops.
I just know…
That somewhere, in a place where time is not a concern,
Or the lightness of fate totally reversible.
In that space, between us & beyond my memory could ever capture.
I would feel the same way.
Over & over until I couldn’t remember.
I would miss, want and love you still.
Not because it’s Valentine’s.

In a celebration of love & splendid sweet-nothings, I’m missing your smiles & the way we both laughed.
In a season of warmth & giving, I’m wanting your embrace, the feel of your kiss.
In perfect bloom of flowers, & hearts much fed, I’m loving you.
More & more.
And in this time of the year when I couldn’t see & feel you,
I no longer need cards or presents to remind me of you.
I would miss, want and love you still.
Not only because it’s Valentine’s.
