I haven't felt this kind of pain before,
It's ironic to say I'm bleeding from the inside.
But every night - I close another door,
And open yet another - just to cut down my pride.
I close my eyes, and I see you.
I come close to waking - I hear your voice.
I don't want to prove it's not true,
But I'm weak - I lose sight of any choice.
I miss your arms around me in the dead of the night.
I miss you covering me when you think I'm completely asleep.
Everything you do - it's somehow always just right.
My love for you runs true - runs deep.
My dreams are inconceivably close to reality.
Numerous times I'd wake to tears.
I don't know . . . maybe it's just me,
But it's amazing what we've become these past few years.
When apart we're always on each other's mind,
When together - we're inseparable - linked arm in arm.
To the rest of the world - our love is blind,
But to us - it's our luck-struck charm.
"Forever is a long time"
They say...
We were meant to be, finding each other was our only crime.
And I don't regret one single day.
I do not regret finding you
I will never bring myself to.
I do not regret loving you
Never in a million years,
Because hey - it's what we do.

I like this, it's full of emotion, and some heartbreak-ish poems seem to ramble and write extempore rants about their trials and hardships, but this is far better, indeed! I like the title, and I think the last stanza sums up the peice in a standing-ovation sort of way, don't you think? It kinda leaves the reader like, "hey, that was impressive". Great job, you should do well in your contest.

thank you so very very much for your kind comment.
it's not exactly a heartbreak poem, as you said, it's more
of a heartbreak-ish poem....the distance is not exactly a
burden either...it's more of a test - we will be together
again, in each other's arms in a matter of weeks.
it has been 4 years since i met him...and it has been over a month since i last saw him.
seven months since the question,
and merely 4 months and 17 days until i am free to be.
every day grows closer - but every moment inches by with such a longing that cannot yet be fulfilled.
again, thank you so much.

intricate jigsaw of seperated pieces longing to be joined , the tab to the curved slot, the whole picture of astounding beauty laid out before you,
the missing pieces that would complete your lives, are all there, it just takes time to put it all together, and time is a procrastinator when two are apart. Superb Poem...one can feel the anguish!~~~Artis
