I MISS YOU

A little bit of you and a little bit of me

Have switched respective places in a mystifying "we".

When miles come between us and our lives are drawn apart,

Our thoughts remain together, tugging softly at the heart.

This lonliness without you tells of special moments shared,

And say across the miles just how much we've always cared.

The emptiness that comes with just the memory of your touch,

Stirs a feeling from within that says,

     "I miss you so very much".

That is a beautiful poem. It hits right home w/ me right now. I have a fiance as well who has been in the army for the past three years. I miss him terribly, but our love is still going strong. Thanx for writing something that can truely touch someone in a similar situation.
