Distance - Only a Thought

It’s not even a week
and I miss you already
that teasing laughter,
just a thought and it
brings a smile to my face…

how did you get it right?
to crawl deep within
how did you get it right?
to get under my skin...

Just recalling your voice,
that soothing sound
that became a part of 
my very existence...

Your embrace my 
only comfort
and our last kiss my
perpetual memory, 
the knowledge
that it wasn’t goodbye,

just a pledge that 
we’ll be together 
in just a few weeks 
if memories
were footsteps
to shorten the distance,
you would be with me already...
