As the dark clouds linger and the bitterness of the air settles in, I sip my coffee warm and deep and remember how it all began.
I walk the paths we used to know, where summer makes our skin a cherry glow. I rest upon our bench so cold and bare. Quiet in silent reverie wishing you were there.
The scent of ozone lingers near me, a fleeting trace of love’s sincerity. It swirls around and calls your name, but without you it’s not quite the same. I miss you more every passing day, as distance creeps and pulls away, the hugs, the laughs, the steady grace. In which I wish to see upon your face.
So come back soon as my heart is worn. Your absence leaves the night sky torn. Yet even though there are miles between, you’re still my thoughts and every dream.
As I wait for you, I grow with care. Knowing one day you’ll be right here.
