My World

it's a long time
i heard those precious words
and felt your deep thoughts,
in ways, the world expresses love
but you've always stood apart,
as you touch my soul,
like none else ever did,
every moment,
every time,
every day

you'd pick the gifts
thoughtfully,
lace them with thoughts,
like none else,
your expressions are
often wordless,
but for the glimmer of a smile in your eyes,
invariably deep and boundaryless,
deliberately quiet,
maybe, i wish i knew,
for words only draw limits,
but in your quiet,
you tell so much,
that echo in my soul,
and ring in emotions, 
priceless

you're from a different world
you are my world,
come back,
as i long
to hug again,
to be hugged tight,
until you let me...
any closer!
