Love Note

10-29-17

Good morning, my love. I've been missing you. The light shining from your eyes has all but blinded me from seeing anything else but you during these pre-dawn hours. ❤ It is cold and quiet here in my lonely world tonight. I put on two blankets during the night, but they were useless compared to holding your warm body in my arms. The fan is noisy, but it cannot comfort me like the sounds of you breathing in your sleep. ❤

When I was young, just the thought of your made me float around in heaven. Just like the thought of you makes me do today. I grew up in a family that didn't show affection. I know love, but it was rarely expressed with words or hugs. Where are you, my heart? Why did you go away? When are you go away? When are you coming back? Are you coming back? I'm afraid of being alone in a empty house, they scare me. Have since I was 11 and was left behind on Gerber Road. :{

I'm feeling a little blue tonight, my love, as my past starts to fade from my memories. You're the only one that is always closer in my mind, a comfort to my heart on these cold lonely mornings. Gone is my fear when you are with me. ❤

I see the places we come from with tired old eyes. There are bright colors I don't remember. I close my eyes and hold you in my arms, always on city sidewalks, on dirt roads, in parked cars, on mountain tops, on the ocean, during cold showers, on dance floors, in prison cells. ❤

❤Forever+Ever❤
❤Your Steve❤

inside my prison
darkness and loneliness
fill my cell
with old memories
I stand here alone
in the dark
behind stone walls
of true emptiness
trapped inside my mind
wanting to run
back to my youth
with all its dreams
with all the hope
all the laughter
all the joy
all the love
my biggest regret
time I've wasted
without holding you
in my arms
today I wipe away
all the tears
that no one
will ever see
everything is gone now
including my tears
including my dreams
including my heart
