Homesick

How many days has it been?
I started counting but lost count again.
I know it won’t be long, and I’ll be home soon,
But I can’t think of anything but you.
I wish you were near. I’m lonely here.
I miss you.

I’m finding things so beautiful and new,
And keep turning around to show them to you,
But no one’s here, and it’s just as well.
I’ll pretend you are and just keep talking to myself.
It’s been so long. Everything’s wrong.
I miss you.

I don’t think that I can stand to wait.
I know that I miss you more every day.

Thunder roars and I stop what I am doing.
I take a walk outside. A storm is brewing, but
I’m not burdened by the slowly graying skies.
Feels like I am staring up into your eyes.
I’m counting the days ‘til I can say
I missed you.
