Constant

I miss you
even before you've
gone.
My heart aches
in longing
and nothing
can fill the
hollow.

Your absence
has caused me
grief and I
am forced
to wear it
like a veil.

But I will
be here,
waiting
at the place
where you left me.

I will be
exactly
where you
found me.
And if you
never return,
if you forget
that there
is one person
who longs for you,
know that I
will never
take it
against you.

I will remain
here -
as faithful
as time;
as constant
as weather;
as solid
as love.
