I'll Come Home

I begin my dreary trudge

Through the paved desert.

It’s so hard to walk when half of me is with you.

 I’d rather walk the streets of the fairy kingdom which I long to call home.

My footsteps echo on the pavement.

Thud shuffle thud shuffle

As I drag the half of me that stayed with you.

Your heart must be bigger than mine.

My chest swells whenever this heart thinks about Us.

That must be why you always feel so empty.

I notice your absence.

It is not an emotional distance,

It is a distance we both feel.

It is nothing compared to the love I feel for you.

I will trade this paved desert for a home in a paved jungle.

And then I will come back to you.

I’ll come home.

I promise I’ll come home.
