it is the way that I wake up in the middle of the night relentlessly searching for you in a single bed
the way I instinctively say we because I have no more desire to be the solo remnants of an ‘I’ that was too tired to stand up straight
the way I cannot help but smile in fragments of moments when I realise that you have become more valuable and yet more priceless than the next breath I breathe
that I’ve come to realise just how much I love you
Being away only for a day but it feels like longer
