ten months away
two with you
after hours and days
flying from and to

ten months apart
postcards
letter stamps
phone cards
five hour phone calls
exceeding text limits
occasional fights
and constant I miss you's

two months together
formal dates
long walks
take out food
sincere talks
hugging and kissing
and hand holding
not having to worry
about one of us leaving

then come the hours of dreading
heavy luggages
heavy crying and sobbing
plane tickets
one of us will be flying
tears and sadness
hugs and kisses
the airport had witnessed
our love more than anything else

and after this day
i'll be back to being away
two thousand one hundred sixty eight
miles away from you
but this is not the end
i'll see you again
