seven years

I am but a shadow--of YOU, my love...
Ever so close, yet hopelessly so far.
Like the crater is to a shooting star,
Just there--waiting--to catch you from above.
Your merest glimpse was all I'd ever need
To fathom thus the gravest sin I know:
That's being a GIT, for letting you go.
For love's both a gift and a curse indeed:
Your mem'ry leaves me with nothing but bliss
Yet clear as that face that wades through my dreams,
Will truth be as vague, for light-years--it seems.
Tell me how long shall I succumb to this?
For life is nearly nothing without you.
And truth of all truths is: I STILL LOVE YOU. :)
