When I wake

I wake every morning with
you in my arms

But, you are not there

I swear, I hear the whisper of
your soft soothing voice

But, there is only silence

I hate this feeling the ties
me to your soul

But, I love you more

I hate the commitments
that keep us a part

When I'm away, I'm even
more troubled

Every thought is not without
the thought of you

Every word someone speaks, it
reminds me of you

But, it leads me to dreaming

When I touch anyone
else

It's you I touch

When I make love to
anyone else

It's your body
I'm near

Oh, my secret lover
our secret safe

For ours to keep

Tell me your hidden feelings,
your secrets deep

Remember we have promised
to tell all

Nothing hidden, all to
be told

Its destiny that binds me
to never forget

When I wake its you
whom I want

Perhaps I'll wait,
Perhaps

Wanting what we can't have. A love kept secret but full of hope.

A great read.**

I see there is a lot of depth in thought for many of us today.

the = that ?
its = it's

I liked the way this read. A lover exists who is also independent. Very honest.
