The time ticks by,
And here I wait.
Impatient, excited,
For the date.
The date and time,
When you return,
And fill the gap,
And quench the burn.
For way too long
We’ve been apart
And I feel the chasm
Growing in my heart
I long for us
To hold embrace
And resume life
With peace and grace
And once again
Be family
For I need you forever
Here with me.
