Two weeks from home

Seven thousand miles

Sixty pounds of luggage

I've carried,

I've counted

All the ways we are

Apart.

Twenty home-cooked meals

Five hundred texts

A million and a half beats

My heart

Is losing track of all the hours

Between

Me and Us

Of all the years

Between

Us and

I

Walk as alone as

You,

Onward

Upward

Forward

Where no one else can

Follow,

My next life will be

A waiting game,

One sip

One prayer

One day

At a time

When home will once again

Be

Just two more weeks

From me to you.
