Constantly Aware
Days ago, we fought time. Struggled to keep our heads above waves of minutes
that threatened to drown our love slowly. Days and nights were blurry concepts.
Love and frusturation were often in the same breath.
Together we survived.
I confess, I never thought saying goodbye to you would be hard this time. It was
a silly goodbye- almost too small and trivial to mention I would miss you. Two
weeks apart sounded like the perfect balm for our wounded esteems.
I miss you tonight.
Somewhere after the news I received this morning. Finding more hurt than heart
returning to my most familiar hauntings made me realize my home is simply
beside you. Somewhere during an episode of the Simpsons- our silly cartoon- I
felt a little lonely when no one laughed with me at things which could only make
you and I laugh together. Somewhere after a difficult day filled with mundane
things I saw that my small triumphs and critical observations will only ever be
fully appreciated by one. You.
This might be an apology.
For not figuring it all out sooner.
It means I love you.
