You left unspoken, a breath in the breeze.

Speaking new languages such as Español.

Anticipating the years to pass, for you to become one of the returnees.

My heart unlocked, buried the keys.

Trying to stay within control.

When waiting for your hugs, your gentle squeeze.

For it all to come rushing back with ease.

To once again be made whole.

Days missing you are the hardest, Days like these.

When life was good in the summers heat of 100 degrees.

When we laughed over painted pottery bowls.

And you’re joking tease.

Picnics shaded under the trees.

Walking hand in hand on an afternoon stroll.

Take me back to when all time would freeze.

Come back to me and hold me together piece by piece.

Don’t Leave alone my broken soul.

Please?

Please, don’t just let me cease.
