Lovers without pain

When I watch lovers
together
walking hand in hand
my heart turns over
with envy
unplanned
that sense of closeness
a oneness
each lover has
I miss the physical intimacy
I had with you
my love
but more your friendship
than the sex
your tender expressions
the loss you caused
at times
almost does me in
but when I learn to face
lovers without pain
I'll know
within my heart
I'll win
