I Could Wait Forever

He's too far away.
I can pull the screen closer and turn up my volume but I still know
He could be on the other side of the world for how alone I feel without him.
I remember the warmth of his chest,
Flush against my spine as his arm holds me close at the waist,
His lips against mine and my fingers in his hair.
I dream of the nights when I am his and his alone,
And the days spent laughing with those close to us.
But I know, in my sadness
That this distance is temporary and he'll be mine again soon,
With the world outside flashing past as we lay timeless.
Though we are worlds apart for too many days
My world is infinitely better just knowing he's in it.
The love I feel for him burns inside my chest and with every word I hear
It swells even more.
So don't worry about me
Sweet man
And my missing you -
I could wait for you forever and it would be worth it.
