<p>LOVE IN THE TIMES OF CORONA!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>It’s been a long time,</p>
<p>We haven’t been able to meet.</p>
<p>I miss those long hugs, kisses,</p>
<p>And those: “Text me when you reach!”.</p>
<p>Though those long video calls showed me your face,</p>
<p>The Aura around you is what I need!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I can’t believe this one-week quarantine torture turned into forever,</p>
<p>In every morning prayer, I wish you were here.</p>
<p>I miss playing with your hair,</p>
<p>That smile of yours and your care.</p>
<p>Though the roots of our relationship are longer than the distance between us,</p>
<p>You’re so far away from me, and that’s really unfair!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I want to watch you put your 24K smile,</p>
<p>Holding you in my arms,</p>
<p>I want to kiss those Glossy Lips,</p>
<p>And feel that charm.</p>
<p>I want to make you Maggie,</p>
<p>Just the way you’d want.</p>
<p>It feels long ago, life was so fruitious,</p>
<p>And this Pandemic made it an unsettling Storm.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wish I would have hugged you tighter,</p>
<p>The last time I saw you.</p>
<p>Anything I’d face,</p>
<p>I know I had YOU!</p>
<p>I hate my destiny for the way you LEFT……</p>
<p>For now, I only can hug you in my Dreams,</p>
<p>Cause the departure of your soul has left me Bereft.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It’s been a long time,</p>
<p>We haven’t been able to meet,</p>
<p>After you’ve passed away,</p>
<p>I have never felt Complete.</p>
<p>Loving in the times of Corona,</p>
<p>I’ve lost my love!</p>
<p>I hate my Destiny</p>
<p>I hope you’re safe up above!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I MISS YOU TERRIBLY! :/</p>
