Obstacles  ----------  by: Nicholas M. Halkias  I miss you!  The pleasure of looking  upon your face cannot be mine.  The joy that comes from  your very presence escapes me.  In my dreams,  Your image is  so much more apparent  when we are closer together.  I miss you!  The solace the sound of your voice gives me  is greater when you are near.  A gaze from your eyes is like a warmth of sunshine  that penetrates my heart.  When we embrace each other,  I am put in a state of euphoria  that leaves me as you depart  to further your life.  I miss you!  I anxiously look forward to  the time we have together in the future.  When you are away, I wish for the future  to quickly become the present.  Although boundaries seperate us,  we become united through  our love and prayers.  I miss you!  I find it hard to express  my feelings without you by my side.  With every breath, I want to confess  my love as a comfort over the miles.  But, I know that before I can say  "I love you!" enough,  we will meet again.  For more information, contact Nick Halkias at this address:  "nmhst4@vms.cis.pitt.edu"
