to hold her again

She is again 5000 miles away
when I woke in the morning
and reached out for her,
she was gone
my brain was waking up
and realized that she has gone back.

I miss her. already.
my body response to missing her
is getting sick
so instead of waking with my sweetheart
I woke up with two tennis balls
in my neck, and no voice.........

while swallowing feels like eating razorblades
has my chin disappeared into my swollen neck
with a fever, and sweating so much that I have to
change shirts every two hours

so not just my heart is homesick to her
my body is also
we started the countdown again
121 days left to hold her again........
