Distance

All right, I'll say it before you do. What follows is very cheesy. Be warned, and be prepared.

Distance

Seated a thousand miles away,

I read the words you have written.

I savour them slowly: one by one,

And wonder if they are meant for me.

As they settle in my mind,

I catch a whiff of your cologne.

It reminds me of your eyes,

Your hands, your smile, your thoughts.

I smile at my moment of weakness,

And wish you were back home.
