The pain of longing


It should hurt…

Loneliness,

Solitude,

Despair…

It should hurt…

not being able to embrace you

on the cold winter nights, 

Lying alone on an empty bed, 

With the memories of goodnight kisses and smiles.

Feeling your arms aching for an embrace,

The silent nights,

The magic spells…

The unshakeable trust.

It should hurt not having you by my side,

With your soft hands

Comforting my fears…

With your kind words

Creating the home where all my dreams 

Want to rest…

It should hurt

Loving you this much

And waving goodbye

Every time you leave…

It should hurt,

My ravaging passion

Crushed by your silence,

my devotion diluted by your fears,

my time dismissed by

your urgencies…

It should hurt

Pretending to forget your name,

Concealing my trembling limbs

When your voice pierces the silence…

Taming this army of heartbeats 

Whispering your name…

It should hurt,

But it should also heal…
