whenever I am away from you,
the distance between us
a burdensome thing,
I always think of you in colors,
the smell of coffee as you so
proudly make it for me,
the perfect sunlight spilling
in through the window.
I miss you even when you are beside me.
I dream of your body
even when you are sleeping
in my arms.
The words I love you
could never be enough.
I suppose we'll have to invent
new ones.
