I can't really explain this great urge to go roam.
With now less than a week left til you finally come home.
Six months ago I thought this day would never come.
And here I sit with my feelings totally numb.
I know when you get here the sexual tensions will be great.
But will it be enough, is it still our destined fate?
I still love you the most,with all of my heart.
This time that's gone by shouldn't tear us apart.
I went through the motions the first month you were gone.
Denial, anger, as life past me by I became withdrawn.
Then the day came when I said no more of this pain.
I refused to sit home and just go insane.
I've made new friends and tried new things.
Feel in a way I mended my broken wings.
A little less than half my life's been with you.
You kept me sheltered, my freedom was long overdue.
I believe very strongly that love concurs all.
We'll get over this hump even if we must crawl.
Change is the thing that scares everyone young and old.
Someday this will be just one of the stories we told.

this was a very bittersweet portrayal of love.... i can feel the love strong- but also the need for independance-- quite a paradox-- excellent meter and rhyme here-- all those feelings so elegantly displayed--and i agree wholeheartedly-- love trancends all.... a fine poem, my friend! -
HMMM I don't know what to tell you just that he had better not clip those wings .. I will be furious.. sigh I know you are nervous and scared and I am for you.. I hope and pray that he has changed for the better and that life (the evil wench she is) waved a magic wand over him and made him better for you and the kids sake.. I LOVE YOU.. KNOW THAT WON'T CHANGE.. I will always be here.. him back or not.. You had just better not disappear again woman.. Taking you with me in dreams of flight, Catressa
