Happy Anniversary: A Poem of Love and Longing

Anniversaries are beautiful when love is near. But when lovers are apart, they become a time of longing and quiet heartache.


Another year has come and gone.
Another anniversary, wished in silence, alone.

Fate has kept us apart,
And apart for them, we are.

Yet every night, I lie in bed,
Silently wishing to hear from you instead.
Wishing you’d reach out, break the divide,
Let me talk to you again, let love collide.

Hear your voice, soft and near,
See your laugh, bright and clear.
Smell your hair, sweet and warm,
Taste your mouth, weather the storm.

Lip to lip, breath to breath,
Yearning for life despite the death
Of what we had, what we lost—
I miss you still, no matter the cost.
