Oh, how I yearn for holidays!
To pack clothes and go somewhere far away
But, honey, you're in L.A.
Frequent calls and texts, you say
Despite different time zones, together we stay
But you haven't called or replied all day
I miss you so much today
I know you work hard to earn that hay
Let's keep our worries at bay
I'll travel miles for you, no more distance, no more delay
Thinking about the times with you all the way
All the memories I wish I could replay
On the terrace, side by side,
Where we'd always lay,
Talking for hours, star gazing until night turned to day.
I want to be in your arms, where everything is okay
I still remember how we were inseparable in first grade,
Spending our evenings painting beneath the tree's shade.
Fighting with paper blades in the open glades,
Writing on each other's slates,
Sharing meals and treats from our lunch plates,
All the memories we made,
And the bracelets and Pokémon cards we used to trade.
They will never fade.
My days without you were gray,
I wandered around, feeling lost and astray.
For all the sacrifices, time, and efforts we pay,
To the Lord, we pray,
For our togetherness and joy now shine like a radiant ray.
The tiny screen was where I always saw you; now I search for your face,
Standing here in this moment, hoping to find you in this place.
Anxiously waiting for you at the airport gateway,
Amid the bustling crowd, you stood there bright with a display,
“Welcome home,” with a joy so intense that words alone could never convey.
You held a warm, heartfelt bunch of red roses, a beautiful bouquet,
A gesture that took my breath away.
Each step toward you quickened my heart’s fray,
I ran to you, our souls in sway,
“I missed you so much,” you whispered, with emotions too profound to portray.
“Me too,” I replied, with tears that softly play.
The airport’s noise seemed to allay,
In your embrace, I found a place where doubts decay.
As we walked hand in hand through the airport’s array,
We strolled to our favorite café.
The wait was worth it, each sacrifice and effort never betrayed.
With you, all our moments felt perfect that day.
When someone you love is not near you at the moment, the longing to meet them,the longing to hold their hands, it's so painful. The line"The wait was worth it, each sacrifice and effort never betrayed." gives me comfort for some kinda reason. This poem feels like that one song

Thank you so much for your kind words! When I wrote this, I felt like a bolter, running headfirst into my emotions, trying to capture all that longing and love in words. Your response really touched me, and I appreciate it deeply. It means a lot—thank you!
