Love Poem: Absent the Tenderness

Absent the Tenderness

See her on Skype, text her
   Call her anytime
Why isn't it the same
   Why's it feel like a game

You miss her touch
   her tender caress
The emotions conveyed 
   in a hug or a kiss

Grateful for contact
   It's lovely to reminisce --
Absent the tenderness
   There's no pathway to bliss
