January 29

When you are away
        my home feels empty –
        all I hear is silence –
        silence is the sound
        of missing you

When you are away
        my words speak: “lonely”
        lonely are the words
        of wanting you

When you are away
        my heart cries: “sadness”
        sadness is the cry
        of needing you.

When you are away
        my soul seeks comfort –
        comfort is what comes
        from loving you.

When you are away
        I spend all my days waiting –
        waiting for the days we'll spend together –
        always waiting –
        when you are away.
