Your Distance and Absence

There's much truth to it
as I say, " you live through me. "
I have missed you a lot
because of my stupidity.

I am convinced it isn't sympathy,
have I made the right choice? 
Have I declared to all my loss,
or having been silent without any worth?
Did I realize my mistake and took the blame?

Your distance and absence
are the only things I miss right now
in my nights without joy somehow;
will they reappear in lost dreams and give
everything to me who deserves so much more.

I wanted to resist my temptation, never falling
for you, but it turned to be an obsession,
a fit of jealousy deeper than any feeling 
being present in these thoughts of fascination;
I want more of you, more of your delicious kisses,
I want to feel joy, more joy in your loving embraces. 

Your distance and absence
won't let me reach out to you and stop
my desperation and be myself again
living days in happiness,
giving more of myself,
thinking of you every moment.
If others never loved you and didn't
give their love with an open heart:
I can offer you more in one hug.
