together

Our day together.

I pulled up in my car, and you were waiting outside. You looked so handsome, I couldn't contain my ridiculously huge smile. Happiness just pouring out of me. Your smile was just as big, and you stared at me with such an excitement and that I had to look away, feeling shy. You hugged me. It felt like home in your arms. calming and wonderful. We went inside and sat down on the couch.

The best 14 hours ever. Dinner, talking, enjoying each other's company. Stayed up all night. I can't even explain how great it was. Time passed too quickly. No more reading messages that say you love me. I saw it on your face, heard the words, felt it. Happiness, wrapped up in each other's arms.

In the morning I had to leave. Had to go back to my life away from you. You had a flight to catch. We wouldn't be able to talk for a couple days. A few messages, but not a lot.

In a few hours, you'll be home, I will be home, and we will talk. After being able to see each other, spend time together in person, I wonder if things will change. Will things be stronger between us? You said it will be harder for us to be apart. I wonder if you feel that way. I wonder if I was everything you hoped for. I hope I didn't disappoint you. You were everything I hoped for and more. I told you that I love you, out loud, looking in your eyes. That's a big deal for me. I didn't think I could do that, but I did without fear.

I miss you.
