While You're Away

While you're away


time very slowly slips away
as though committed to torture my heart
seemingly set adrift on a sad work of art



Days are incomplete


no hand to hold on the passenger's seat
forcing me to drive in solitary
on these cold nights of January



Missing the feeling


of sheer excitement deep within
towards the habit of fetching you,
always eager to see your hairdo



How very strange


it is to acknowledge the change
so used to your touch,
this loneliness is a bit too much



Such tiring space


time seems to drag itself at a snail's pace
a lowkey happy memory, my heart remembers
when we walked nonstop, looking for your suspenders



How I hate


this emptiness, and I can't wait
to once again look into your dreamy eyes
my joy upon your presence, you'll realize



To be honest


I always yearn for your caress
for you to come home fast, is what I pray
all day, while you're away.
