Oh My Love
By Chloe Smith
Oh my love,
How long it has been
Since I last saw you.
Since I last left you.
As I am the wind, I am unbound,
Free to go wherever I please,
Never in one place for too long.
But so too are you the Earth,
Steady and resolute,
A constant unchanged by time.
No matter how long I am gone
You are always there,
Awaiting my return.
I do hope I haven’t left you waiting too long.
In fact, all I can do is hope.
Hope that, when we next meet,
You will still be waiting.
That you will hold me tightly in your arms,
As if you intend to never let go.
That when I look into your eyes,
They will still hold all your love for me.
That we’ll be okay.
