AWAY

I don�t know why it�s taking so long to come home to you.

I thought it would be instantaneous

a walk for cigarettes that became a long weekend

that has stretched

interminably

aimlessly

lonely

away from you.

I didn�t think this is what I wanted.

I know it�s not what I enjoy.

I want to be near you

to hear you allay my fears

I want to always be here with you

and it�s queer

that I�m not.

I don�t know why I�ve stayed away so long

or even what I�m doing

telling you any of this.

But I miss you

and I want to come back

eventually.
