My love — Summary

Mary62708Romantic

Every time my heart beat it beat in time with yours Every time I took a deep breath your lungs filled with air We were completely in sync Mind and body Heart and soul

We will always be linked even though you aren't here I miss feeling you hearing you Just knowing that you were mine You, my love The one I made and the one who made me

Mary62708's "My love" is a short poem about missing someone so closely tied to the speaker that their absence feels physical. In the first stanza, the speaker remembers a time when the two were perfectly matched: heartbeats lined up, breaths shared, "mind and body / heart and soul." The closeness is described as almost literal, as if one person's body responded to the other's.

The second stanza shifts to the present. The person is gone, but the speaker insists they are "always linked." What they miss is not just the person but the sensation of them: "feeling you / hearing you." The last line is the most striking. The loved one is "the one I made and the one who made me." That could suggest a child, or it could simply mean two people who shaped each other. The poem doesn't say, and the ambiguity adds to its tenderness. The mood is quiet, aching, and devoted, with grief softened by a sense that the bond hasn't broken.

No one like you

You feel like sunshine A warm ray beaming down across my skin Soaking you in You aren't around often
