Joyous Misery

The wind creeps through my hair
 and your scent ingratiates itself within me
I look at the sky
 and i see your face in the clouds
          The clouds
             or my mind,
           I'm not sure which
              but you are still there
           You are always there.

The heat strikes my back
  and I feel you.
Touching me,
  Holding me,
     Kissing me
The light shines upon my face
 and I sense your gaze 
  burning right through me
    straight to my heart
Clear to my soul
This is your home, 
For thats where I hold all of our memories together

I look around me
I'm surrounded by green
It reminds me of looking into your eyes
 or being lost in moments of you
So easy to get lost
 when I'm with you
So easy to forget where I am
 when I'm thinking of you
My heart always yearns to be near you.

A bird flits by
 and I think of tender words
  fluttering past your lips.
I can hear them now
 as the wind rushes past me,
   and I miss you terribly.

The rain pelts down,
 as I begin to cry.
