How I was longing for your embrace,
for your arms, for your tongue.
Reality I didn’t want to face,
how virtual it was, yes, I thought wrong.
You had to whisper in my ear,
words about comfort and love.
How desperate I was to hear,
that you were still with me, my dove.
I cannot express the emptiness,
that was haunting me for years.
Memories plenty but they brought only sadness,
and sad shivering tears.
You were my buddy from forty-nine,
through decades we lived and cherished.
Thought: why did you leave me, my sunshine?
I was longing for you, but now I know: you have vanished.
