As Long as Forever

so close to you yet so far away

our souls are one

as are our hearts

though it's been forever since I've seen your face.

I know we'll be happy

forever and ever

even if we have to wait.

My mother says "no"

and father says "later"

it seems so hard for us to make it

but I promise we will

for as long as you call me "Sugar"

everything will be fine

Author's Notes/Comments: 

yea...i'm stupid...and...screwed up everything with everything...and i came so close to losing him, but I didn't, it's just hard to remember that the voice has a body connected to it...you know?

NOTE: and, once again, everything turned out alright in the end. The voice is connected to a body, and more importantly, to the soul of the man I love. So everything is alright for me for now, and I don't plan on losing him again any time soon.

Pardon me for my lack of a large vobabulary, but this is a really good poem. Actually, I can't say that I've read a poem of yours that wasn't good. You seem to be a very accomplished poet. I hate to ask for favors, but if you get a chance I would be greatful if you would read some of my poems and give me some advice.
