Because of you

The endless days with no escape,
Thoughts of you in distant place.
One picture printed in my mind,
Eyes closed or open, I see your face.
Joy and sadness fill my days,
My heart and soul are aching.
I long to see you soon again,
To end the eternal waiting.
I have become a stranger to myself,
A stranger I now know.
Emotions I thought I never had,
Have now come shining through
The life that glows within me now,
Could be just because of you.
