In Your Absence

I do not wish to lie to you
Because my love for you is true.
And in your absence I shall weep
Till your return I won't peacefully sleep.
But do not fret, nor weep, nor sob,
For this is how I express my love.

I'll be restless till you come,
And that, your love, I see some.
Until that time I shall wait for you,
And I will live for you so true.
But if then our fate shall separate us
I will never break your trust.

Nothing can make us say goodbye
Though eternity will come to pass us by.
Circumstance couldn't break us apart,
For you shall always have my heart.
Never fail to see my love for you,
That you'll always have a home to come back to.

And as I write my story now
This will always be my vow.
That, for you, I won't cease loving,
And I'll be longing for your coming.
But if you'll ever read this somehow
Know that I'll always be around.

Let me suffer if you do,
Let me cry with you too.
Let me rejoice if you will,
For I'll be with you still.
So, do not fret, nor weep, nor sob,
For this is how I express my great love.

    great write and I find myself repeating the only critique is that it have line breaks or stanzas ... somehow I feel that always gives a poem more impact.

    WOW!!!

    This is an absolutely beautiful poem. I can relate with every line. My fav part is...

    But if you'll ever read this somehow
    Know that I'll always be around.
    Let me suffer if you do,
    Let me cry with you too.
    Let me rejoice if you will,
    For I'll be with you still.
    So, do not fret, nor weep, nor sob,
    For this is how I express my great love.

    This has captured my heart. And with your permission I would like to send this to the one that I miss...

    Once again this is a beautiful poem. Good luck in this contest

    Wow.

    I don't normally like poems like that, with the rhyming on every line.
    But yours was so heartfelt, i loved it.
    I love how you repeat:

    'So, do not fret, nor weep, nor sob,
    For this is how I express my great love.'

    Good luck, well done.
