Never To Know Again I shall never know the feel of your hand again lying atop my chest as we sleep in the night. I'll never again know the comfort of your voice as we lay there and talk in the dark. And lost is the chance to know the taste of your kiss when we awaken from peaceful slumber. I will never again feel your hand in my hair as you comfort me when you walk by. No more will I anticipate the next call, thinking it might be your sweet voice that I hear. And I will not learn any more secrets that make you who you are and who you don't want to be. No longer will I have the chance to hold you up after you come to me for my strength. I'll not know again the joy of our expression of love as we cling to each other in uncompromising faith. I'll not see any longer the trust in your eyes as you bear to me all the things that no one else knows. I will not feel your stomach rumble under my hand as I rub it lightly, trying to ease your pain. I will not ever again hear you whisper my name, and then smile as you tell me your love. Never again will I find this quiet peace that surrounds me when you hold my hand. I will not ever again know this person I have become for you making me better than I thought I could be. All these things…I am never to know again.

This was written a couple of days before my fiancee left. I saw it coming like a runaway train, but I just couldn't get out of the way.
