Love Poem: Fire and Ice

Fire and Ice

I waited
and I waited
With hope in my soul

hours
days
months
for what will be an eternity waiting

the sun rose and set
the stars shone bright and then went dark
the moon rose again 
Time became a marker of the intense pain

the anguish of our love and longing
the desire never far; so helplessly clear
The light in your eyes fading
hating myself for not knowing how to comfort you

all I heard was the silence between us 
the absence of your presence and touch
the distance and cold in your actions
 
My mind tried to forget you; but my heart wouldn't allow it
I saw your name and felt you everywhere; but couldn't reach you
I believed this to be some kind of sign

I am the fire to your ice; the smile to your laughter; the love you crave
We both know it to be true
Time does not change feelings 
No matter our distance in this life 

Days will pass mornings into nights
months into years
I will always carry us
in my silent private tears 

You can say scars are emotional wounds
My dear love you know this to well 
I could never stop dreaming of more
I refuse to write an ending for us 
If I never speak again I need you to know

You're still written lovingly
in the scars of my heart 
I will always be waiting for you
