I step off the plane
Into the terminal
After scanning the crowd,
I put my head down
And head to baggage claim.

I wait as I look
Up at the board
And I hear a voice
Behind me asking
"Hello, do I know you?"

I turn around
And stare him in the eyes
For the first time
I see my love in real life
And I can only smile

When I recover,
I look up at him and say
"I don't believe so.
Nice to meet you,
I'm your other half"

Laughing, he hugs me close
"Hello, other half.
Funny, weird name,
You look like a Caroline,
Or maybe a Starry"

I laugh and just smile,
Then, pulling away,
I look up at him
Look in his eyes,
And tell him
"I love you"

Last night, I had a dream
I went to Kansas
And I saw you there
It was the best dream of my life

I woke up believing
I'd see you beside me,
Because in the dream,
We fell asleep together.

Why did I have to
Wake up to the reality,
You've been gone for four months,
And will be away much longer.
