Although it seems to degrade all other facets of my existence, the pain I feel in your absence serves as my most loyal and consistent reminder of you. I happily bear the burden of my anguish if to shed it would mean to sacrifice but a moment of your splendid memory.
The passage of time may ease the pain, but I pray it not dull the memories I so cherish. It is through such memories that I experience you each and every day. I gladly embrace the pain if doing so keeps your image fresh in my mind.
I shall bear my burden with gratitude, taking comfort in my dreams where your voice is ever heard and your touch felt.
The place in my heart where you reside continues to grow. It has become abundantly clear that the possibility of loving another as I have loved you is too remote to mention. Perhaps this is my story then... A life accompanied by ever-present heartache. In spite of everything, the mere thought of your beautiful visage cleanses my soul and takes the weight of my sorrow until my cruel mind clutters the image with other things - all trivial in comparison.
As most nights, I shall apply my sincerest effort in the suppression of all extraneous thoughts and concentrate entirely on you. This is the best possible way to fall asleep.
