The love of my life so far is in Australia. My life so far, I’ve gotten so far, but I say it to mean “there’s more to come.” My life so far, he’s gone so far, but I’m too young to expect him to stay. Or to go roots-up with him. My only job is to wait until January. It’s not so far till when he’ll be home, but each moment in each cell aches with distance. I am so far gone.
