Obstacles

----------



by: Nicholas M. Halkias



I miss you!



The pleasure of looking

upon your face cannot be mine.

The joy that comes from

your very presence escapes me.

In my dreams,

Your image is

so much more apparent

when we are closer together.



I miss you!



The solace the sound of your voice gives me

is greater when you are near.

A gaze from your eyes is like a warmth of sunshine

that penetrates my heart.

When we embrace each other,

I am put in a state of euphoria

that leaves me as you depart

to further your life.



I miss you!



I anxiously look forward to

the time we have together in the future.

When you are away, I wish for the future

to quickly become the present.

Although boundaries seperate us,

we become united through

our love and prayers.



I miss you!



I find it hard to express

my feelings without you by my side.

With every breath, I want to confess

my love as a comfort over the miles.

But, I know that before I can say

"I love you!" enough,

we will meet again.
