Ten Years

It's been ten years. Ten long, tiring and utterly exhausting years. It's been 3,652 days on this exact date since I last saw you. 3,649 days since I last saw you alive, and breathing. Ten whole years since I've touched your skin, or smelled your aftershave. It's been 120 months since I've heard your laugh or your dreadful shower singing. It's been 5,259,488 minutes since I've been happy. Now, after ten years, I'm ready to see you again.
