When You Leave

When you leave

a smile and a kiss

don’t even show how much I’ll miss you

When you walk out the door

I always crave more

even after all these years

the feelings are sincere

When you turn your head to go

I can feel my heart beat a million times

wondering when you’ll be back

and knowing that you’re mine

When it’s silent then

I will busy myself with work and chores

losing track of time

and when you crack the door

I feel something more

than just the presence of another

It’s hard to explain the thunder

in my chest

and the smile that rests

on my face before I even know

it’s there

and when you wrap me in your arms once more

I cherish the moment

as I try to cherish every moment

because I know when you leave again

the unexplainable feeling that you bring

will leave

with you
