Day 84: Another Lonely Night...

Yet another lonely night, born of a wilted, fading heartbeat.

For your return, I eternally wait, alone and afraid in the dark.

Please, won't you return to me? I miss you dearly, my love...

My nights I spend awake and pining, yearning for your hand.

My days, I sleep away the hours, trying merely to forget the pain.

Not eating right with you out of sight, my chest, it feels so tight.

To catch my breath, I struggle through tears and blurred vision.

However long it takes, however long I must wait, for you I will stay.

I pray only that you need me, that you miss me too, my dearest...
