Love Poem: There You Were

There You Were

This morning when I awakened, there you were,

Just like the clock and nightstand over there.

I couldn't reach out, touch or embrace you,

My thoughts of you were rich and true.

I could smell your fragrance, fresh and sweet,

Which caused my heart to rapidly beat.

As I laid there, motionless and consumed,

By the thoughts that I naturally assumed.

I wondered why you looked so radiant and peaceful,

As if you were in a place that was very special.

A place that I hoped you and I shared,

Of a time that proved how much we cared.

We shared, we cared and we loved so deeply,

I listened to how you breathed so sweetly.

There on your face and in your quiet sound,

You reached out and it was I  you found.
