THE  MAN  I  LOVE

By Amy L. Chaves

July 29, 2000

The man I love is far--

He lives on the other side of the globe,

Where his day is my night

And my night is his day.

But our hearts know no such distance—

We are one in love,

One in thought,

And one in dream.

I cannot kiss the man I love

Before he sleeps at night

And when he wakes up every morning.

But in my mind and heart

I kiss him goodnight every time he sleeps,

I snuggle up to him during cold nights,

And  I wake up seeing his blue-gray eyes

Full of love and hope for both of us.

I cannot touch and make love to the man I love

But in my fantasies he is  always with me,

Our limbs intertwined in  the throes of passion

That hides no secret desire or needs unmet.

I can feel the heat of our longing

As he pins me and makes me forget

The boundaries of time and space.

I miss the man I love every moment of the day

Lucky are those who work with him,

Are his friends,

For they see him,

Talk to him, and joke with him.

But I love him with a love that knows no end,

With a love willing to take unknown risks,

Just to be with him,

 To love him, and care for him forever.

So if you see the man I love,

Remember that he is precious to me.

He is God’s best gift to me,

And I am proud to be part of his life

Because he is wonderful,

And uniquely the best of all the men I have known.

There is no one like him

Even if you wait for a hundred years.

So if you are any of his friends,

Take time to appreciate him as a fine piece

Of God's handiwork--

For he is the man I love!
