Not Soon Enough
Your voice – so many miles away.
Six days until it’s next my ear.
Not soon enough.
Five days until we’re arm entwined
not soon enough
Four days until we kiss hello:
not soon enough,
not soon enough.
And all those stretching, empty hours
until we’re centered
in the gentle exploration of ourselves
that we’ve been longing for!
I say again, that, oh, until you’re here
until I know the rest
you promised you would bring to me,
my sleep is thin and ragged,
rough.
Not soon enough.
Six days until it’s next my ear.
Not soon enough.
Five days until we’re arm entwined
not soon enough
Four days until we kiss hello:
not soon enough,
not soon enough.
And all those stretching, empty hours
until we’re centered
in the gentle exploration of ourselves
that we’ve been longing for!
I say again, that, oh, until you’re here
until I know the rest
you promised you would bring to me,
my sleep is thin and ragged,
rough.
Not soon enough.
