The Clock Strikes One
As I countdown
Until I can see you.
No more,
Skype,
Chats, or texts
To keep us connected
While you work.
I will see you
Again.
Not a photo, but you.
My love.
Heart and soul,
We’ll be skin to skin.
Heartbeats and breath
Keeping time.

I wait for you.
And I would for a lifetime.
I’d yearn for you,
But I’d wait.
Love, so fierce,
So strong
No matter our distance from each other.
I long for it to be done.
So, I can show you
Our love.
Is still as strong.
Unbroken by what had to be.
