There Are Times When I Need You Poem by Katerina Kapotas Tapas

Sometimes the love turns to sorrow
straining my eyes not too close to look at photographs
one more time before sleep
maybe i love you
how i love you.

This is when i need you. now. here.
without question
without hesitation
this is when i need you.

Sometimes I can see the indentation in your cheek
before you even start to smile
this is when i need you
because this is all i have, the thought of your smile.

I need you to feel it too
the need. the love. the absence.
This is when i need you
overwhelming love.

The tears flow
without question
without hesitation
this is when i need you.
