here we are again
facing Valentine's Day
as they ask
how can two be as one
without ever touching
but oh, my love
we have touched
minds
hearts
souls
we have traveled more than
most will ever have the chance
for each night
our spirits fly across oceans
we have lain together in dreams
awoken separately
with the kiss of the other
still lingering on our lips
we have seen deeper into ourselves
than most ever dare to look
for the faith we have in us
comes from the most profound place inside
and we live our lives
together but apart
with trust in the future
and appreciation for the now
so do not lament
this Valentine's Day
for cards not sent
flowers not received
but know instead
there is love in this world
that is only for you
and tomorrow
will still be Valentine's Day
for us

A Winner!!!!
Excellent!
This is genius when it comes to a love poem. You have described every emotion of love and pain and togetherness. What this love has is a deeper knowing of the other even though they are apart, there are people i know in life haven't got this and they have been married for years and years.
You are a brillaint poetess and tell it from the heart, not too many have the gift of doing this.
I didn't have a favourtie part...i love and enjoyed it all from satrt to finish. i found it very sad yet the unity in it was still there even though they were apart. its like a fairytale, i can imagine myself in it.
Great poem and hope you win the gold for this.
Good luck
