These Next Few Days
I’m sitting here. Excited for your arrival, which will be the best part of my day. It’s been far too long before I have seen your face, and I am excited to see how it has changed. The time we will spend together will seem never-ending. But, the day will come that you have to fly back home, cross country from where I’m standing now. Seeing you again makes me happy. But watching you walk out the front door makes me forget about all the times we shared, and makes me remember all the tears I cried when you left. I’m sure these next few days will seem ever-lasting and never-ending, but it’ll make my life miserable with tears of much sadness. My heart will ache until I see your face again and my memories will fade, slowly but surly, away. Remembering the times soda spilled through the nose because of an inside joke will make me shiver, instead of my usual giggle. And remembering the times we stayed up all night and slept all day will make me cry, instead of a smile. Well, here’s to you and these next few days.
