I hugged you tighter
than I ever have
and cried when
you said goodbye.
I'm missing you already,
counting the hours
until I see you again.
I hope absence
brings us closer
because right now
it's tearing my heart apart.
I cling to the memories
of that last perfect kiss
and the things you said
that made me yours.
I'm just waiting now,
waiting for you
to come home.
