Love Poem: Embrace

Embrace

Your voice
Your eyes
Wish I would've realized
How much then I was in love with you
Your smile
Your touch
I want that back so very much
Your strength
Your kiss
Your tenderness
Down deep it's always been you I missed
Your love
Your beauty from inside
From you never did I need to hide
What we had together
We never really needed to try
It was just there
Always showing each other how much we truly cared
From the day we said hello
To the night we said goodbye
You I would never be able to let go
Never could I count all the tears I cry
From my thoughts never to far did your memory every stray
So why does life have to get in the way
It's the little things that remind me everyday
Of the words back then I couldn't say
So now on these pages of paper I let them in forms of poems be said
They're out there now and not kept in my head
For each other our hearts have bled
Perhaps that's why we ran the other way and for years have fled
I thought before I could but you are the only one I could never replace
I close my eyes and all I see is your face
You are the one I long to embrace
