Thoughts of the day

You are miles away from me, yet so close to my heart. I see footprints of our steps we walked. I see the ghost of you lying by my side. I can still feel your breath on my neck. I can feel your kiss on my lips. My heart aches to feel yours beating against me. I sit here, alone. My life has paused since you left. I know you are coming home, yet I fear you will not return. My chores await my attention. Every minute passes as if it were standing still. My tears threaten to stain my cheeks, no matter how I try to fight them away. Sadness has taken over my smile. All I can do is sit here as if I am waiting. I am waiting. I’m waiting for you to come home. And when you do, the minutes will pass too fast.
