Another Day

Another day has come and gone
we are one day closer
to being together again
to peace
to being whole again

The waiting seems unbearable
the quiet and emptiness
an ache that haunts me

The smell of you is fading
the edge of your parting dulling

I long for you
your closeness
your warmth
the way you close your eyes
when I touch you

Your return is so distant
I fear it will never come
What am I to do until then?

Come back to me...
