Breathless, 
heart-stopping, 
anxious minutes. 
Hours, 
days- 
how long have I waited? 
Imagined your response? 
Just to touch soft fingertips 
on your beautiful face, 
see the sparkle of pools 
reflect your love and devotion. 
Feel protected by strong arms 
wrapped around from above. 
With my head on your chest 
I’ll inhale you once more; 
your scent, most apparent 
among whispers of travel. 
And finally feel the vibrations 
move through my heart 
as you speak those words 
I’ve long ached to hear: 
“It’s good to be home.”
