Missing You

This is the hardest time of day.
The time when
I should be walking
down lilac lined streets
holding hands with you.
Not having to speak,
feeling love coursing
through your fingertips
to mine and back again.
Feeling content and fulfilled
and totally in love
with you and with life.
Or perhaps sitting
on the end of the bed
sharing thoughts and stories
in quiet voices.
Looking into each other's eyes
knowing that we are loved
so deeply each by the other.
This is the time of day
when I love you most,
miss you most,
need your gentle voice the most.

Come home soon, my love.
