there are days when it feels heavy
and the wait is too long for me to take
so i try to make pretend that there is no longer real
and instead here is all that exists
but i know you–
you and i are alive at the same time
we are living under the same blanket of stars
we see the same moon
one day the distance will close
the miles will melt away like snow
and it will be beautiful
but for now, we wait,
and we cling onto the hand of the Maker
who is all in all and more than enough
to fill the emptiness in the cavity of our chests
we will walk that way, my darling, and soon
but we must learn to walk with Love Himself
if we want to walk it well
until then,
we wait.
