Soon we will be apart
not for good
but still apart

That I will miss you
is a given

but we will see each other again
on a weekend or two
over vacations
holidays

it'll be different from here on out
this will not be your home base
yours will be yours
new
not ours

but at least we'll have
facebook
text messages
cell phones

so even though we won't be together
we also won't really be
apart
