The wait

This shadow of you,
teasing the senses from far away
Come closer to give me a glimpse
of what i can never have.
Let me run fingers on its outlines
Wondering if there can be anything more than this
that i could ever get.

You are more than a want for me
A need i crave for, it is you.
Will you not come closer
Overwhelm me with your look.

The hoards surrounding
increasing the chasm in between
Hope's candle flickering
twisting the shadow.
With each blink
You only get farther away.
Leaving me bereft of even a glimpse.

I will await the day of your return.
