Counting

I am counting the days, the hours, the minutes....
its making me crazy some, yes, but I have to have a way
that makes this seem as though things are getting closer.
So today I imagined that you had been gone for ten days
and this meant we were already beyond the halfway point.
Of course I knew better....you hadn't been gone a week yet
but in this case I know I need to find a ray in all of this.

So nine more days, the countdown continues....and I can't
concieve how I'd survive a month out of contact...I was ready
for things to go smooth but life had other things in mind.
Its perfect timing, yes, so I have to keep telling myself that....
and learn to be patient.
