Four Month Seperation

This trip back has confirmed one thing--
that I'm ready to come home again.
Oh, I really enjoy being overseas
but there is a limit to such enjoyment.
I've quite reached my limit now--
nearly two years away is enough.
Four months are left for me
until I can go home permanently.
These will probably be the longest,
the longest four months of my life.
This trip has given me a fresh taste
of home and all the things I've missed.
I'm afraid I'll miss them more now
after I go back, seperated again.

*Aug. 3, 2002, Waikiki, Hawaii.
I do find it very interesting how that one can get used to a place and think it great and forget how great the place they were before was. It's like time steals ones perspective and memory.

Such a wonderful place to be in right? I felt the same when I went to my homeland, India after almost 10 years. Very good write J!
