I haven't found you yet.
Perhaps you don't exist,
or existed before and were gone
long ago.
I try not to let myself think about that.
I also try not to think about all the times
when you would be useful:
when appliances don't work
and jars won't open
and spiders appear out of nowhere.
Can you miss an embrace without having felt it yet?
I think you can, because I do.
The world is a dangerous place, darling,
and I am strong but not that strong.
I cannot hold back the tide forever.
But I do not want to complain.
I do my best every day because I
want you to have a woman worthy
of the wait you've suffered through.
It is hard work and I struggle,
frightened that it is all in vain and
you have gone ahead of me. That I have missed you.
I want you to know you are loved,
that all of these tears as I pen this
are shed in the hope that I'll see you one day.
Until then I shall try to be brave.
I wait for your arms to wrap around me
and block out the sound of the world.
I love you.
I need you.
Come quickly, my heart.
Please tell me what you think

Aw, Man! (pardon the pun)
So lovely and heartfelt, and makes those of us who were young once remember what it felt like to long for this person in your life. A word of caution, however: love yourself first and never loose sight of who you are. We tend to subliminate ourselves to our partners and while it may work in the short-term, you'll wake up one day two decades down the road and be very angry with him when it's yourself you should be talking to.
Beautifully written.
