The longing to embrace a loved one. The desire to see someone you care about and miss so much.
Many miles apart and the ache is even bigger, I would give anything to hug and hold you.
To say the words ‘i miss you’ to your hearing. I could probably say it over the phone but i long to say it to your face and into your ears.
I missed hearing you talk for hours about everything and anything that happened in your day, seeing your body vibrate to your own laughter when you find something funny.
I felt so much hurt when you left for a different city, like a part of me was going away.
Who would i tell my endless stories to? Who would listen to my endless blabbing about a topic that didn’t require much talking about? It would never feel the same over the phone so even before you left, I longed for our reunion.
Remember when I called you crying about that incident at work? I wished more than ever that you were in the same space as me, holding me and assuring me it was all going to be alright.
Celebrating big achievements without my biggest cheerleader around didn’t seem right because i wished you were right there singing and cheering for me. Even in this moment, i desire all these and more.
All these are my thoughts as i am on my way to meet you at the airport, i really have missed you.
Welcome home Mum!
