opinion of my heart

I wish
I could watch
you sleep tonight
for I can barely
remember
the warmth
of your breath
on my shoulder
or the cup of your
hand
heavy on my hip

the miles
which keep us apart

for weeks on end

never asked
the opinion
of my heart

Excellent poem. Rather simple, yet very emotional and expressive. I enjoyed it! Nothing I would change. Thanks for entering our contest.
