Sweetheart
How are you?
Are you fine or getting tired?
Do you need a warm bath and nice massage?
Do you want me to hug and kiss you?
Do you miss me like I miss you?
I hope you do.

Sweetheart, Where are you?
I hear your voice in every corner of the road.
I feel your presence everywhere.
Is this love? if it is, Please do not leave me.
Always be there...
like I'm always there for you

When Elizabeth was in High School, she composed the poem "The Moon and I.
 Which was only published later. Here it is:

I love to walk on a summer night
with the moon above shining bright
with me in a sullen melancholic plight.

The night would be drab
with you out of sight
but I must cast aside
nagging thoughts out of mind
So why must I  ponder over yesterday's flight
when here is the moon hunting me with its light?
