Separation Sucks!!
She is coming home today.
For awhile, she has been away.
I missed her more each day.
Ever since she has been away.
The homecoming is an important thing.
It is something that makes me sing.
Good times will be happening again.
It’s like getting back a long lost friend.
Time goes by. Be it long or short.
Either brings on feelings, I can report.
Feelings of loneliness and fear.
Will she ever again be near?
Though it is a planned business trip.
The whole time away she is missed.
When she gets home we’ll celebrate.
It will be like our very first date.
It will end in a climax of love.
We will be closer than 2 turtle doves.
A day to remember from our past.
One whose memories will really last.
At times, being apart, we can’t avoid.
These are times I’d like to destroy.
But, when we are together again.
A greater gift I could not win.
Let’s make the most of when we are together.
In the future, there may be bad weather.
That would be when either must be away.
I would prefer that we could always stay.
Yes, being apart is a real bummer.
Not much to do here but, slumber.
But, the day comes when we are together again.
Then we can party like it will never end.
