I sit across from you
For the first time in months
Your face so lovely
Still an oasis of calm
Longing to be closer
Relishing this moment
Knowing closer is coming
Your patience eternal
With my unintentional babble
I am not afraid of silence
I just have missed
The connection so much
There is so much
I want to say
But I am afraid to
So I fill the silence
And you continue to sit
Patiently with that smile
Fifteen feet could be
Fifteen miles
Despite that
Gratitude for the moment
Savoring every second
Like smelling
Shortly before tasting
Patience for a
Little longer
Plans made for a
Hopeful future
I have missed you
