looking at photos of you makes my heart melt. whenever you text

looking at photos of you
makes my heart melt.
whenever you text me
i feel a rush of relief
that you got through 
another day.
& oh, this desire i have for you;
this craving i feel to kiss you,
this eagerness i feel to hug you,
and this need and thirst i feel
to make love to you,
is so strong,
and so constant,
that i want nothing more 
than to fulfill it.
& although bodies of water,
and miles of earth,
lay between us
and hold us
so far apart,
i still feel so close to you.
