Nine months
Seems like years since I've seen you
But only days stand between you and me now
And with that first glance
I know all my fear and sorrow will evaporate
From my being
And instead I will cling to you
For you are much warmer
Much wiser
Than what previously held onto me

I will release those things willingly
For your tweed suit jackets
Your round glasses
Thick beard
And ancient knowledge
I will welcome the man who knows me
And reminds me who I am
When I don't realize that I am lost
For nine months is much too long
But only a
few
more
days
