Romance in Absentia ...

As soon as I think of you
you are there
in every sip of cold coffee
I feel your warm breath

My arms ache to hold you
soon you reach out
from flowers in my vase
whispering hello

I pick a rose stem
brushing it with my lips
it blooms with your aroma
one of its kind

I hear a knocking
from within my beating heart
surely yours saying
I'm here sweetheart

like a flicker of a candle
you hold the light for me
while my heart is singing
never leave me alone
------------------------------------
pride brimming my eyes
restrain whelming tears
I salute her bedside photo
dressed in war fatigues

Thanks for the read and comment. I may clarify that "fatigue" here is in the context of uniforms soldiers wear to camouflage not as exhaustion
