Your Return - Part II

Your sudden return

was the news I’ve heard,

contentment is the heart

that is missing you so.

Oh, I thought it would be easy

counting the minute and the hour,

but I found out, it’s hard to do.

Anxiety was eating me inside

controlling what’s left of my life.

Oh, I wish you could step on my shoes

living with a love that drives you crazy,

growing unknowingly and immensely.

Still the anticipation was worthy,

I’m sorry to hear how things are going,

your departure was too long, too lonely.

I’m glad you’re home!

But for how long?
