getting away from me

how did i let you get away from me
even for an evening
time without you
is marked only by
the heartbeats unmatched
and the thoughts which bring
your image into my mind
that remind me of how you feel
and how i long for your touch
and the music of your voice
every day without you
is embodied dispair
for what is worse
that losing something precious
it is impossible to tire of you
any more than you could tire of the stars
that one day you'd say
enough of their beauty
let the night be dark and empty
like the days away from you
