The glow of dawn, where light spills
Gentle and promising, my heart dances
On the edge of tomorrow, alive with the echoes
Of laughter soon to return,
In halls soon to be filled with the pitter-patter of joy.

Eight days, a brief interlude, a pause
In the endless symphony of our togetherness,
Each moment a note held in suspense,
Waiting to resolve in the warmth
Of embraces, in the sharing of twilight tales.

The spaces around me, brimming with the silence
Of anticipation, whisper of reunions bright
With the colors of missed stories, missed moments,
Soon to be reclaimed,
As the day reclaims the night.

I count each sunrise as a promise,
Each sunset, a step closer to the chorus
Of our laughter mingling, to the rhythm
Of our life resuming in the beautiful chaos
Of togetherness, of shared dreams.

For now, I cherish the memories, a treasure trove
Of love that stretches, unbroken, through days,
Through distance, a golden bridge of smiles,
Of whispered “I miss you”s, soon to be replaced
With the joy of “Welcome back”, and our world,
Once more vibrant, once more complete.
