I wait and wonder:
So much time has passed
Since duty called you away,
And life has changed us
In many ways Large and small;
We still love,
But has that love
Grown stronger
With time and distance?
I watch you deplane
With a leap of my heart.
You are whole,
You are home,
And I am so filled
With happy emotions
That tears trace down my cheeks.
Your eyes scan the crowd.
Finding mine,
Every other person
Fades away,
And, at long last,
I am in your arms,
And it is I
Who is whole,
Who is home.
