Love Poem: Distant Lovers

Distant Lovers

The last time we met and kissed was at the beach;
the taste of your kiss and texture of your lips
still lingers in my memories until now.
I still remember your beautiful voice,
and sometimes turn off the radio or TV to listen to it.
My arms still remember the texture of your skin,
and the fine softness of your face.
I often rewind the projector of my mind,
and bring to life pictures of how we were happy together,
laughing at things we knew or didn't know, taking selfies together,
having lunch together, holding each other's arms and cuddling....
Sometimes your thoughts of me are so strong,
that I feel as though a piece of the Sun has been immersed
into my very soul; warm, comforting and rejuvenating.
Though we are far apart, I always feel you around me,
yet still longing to celebrate your company again.....
