Awaiting

I've been on my own for a while. I thought I could do this without you, but I realize now that I can't do much without your presence. Without your arms around me to make sure I am warm in the room, your eyes that could recognize my health declining by the minute.

You gave me more time than time itself could offer and I would never ask for anything more, but to get the time spent with you back. Even with the wild flowers set next to me, I can only focus on the monitor that I expect will jolt me back to reality.

My time spent with my parents and sister was enough for me to smile as I knew I would be able to see you again. I will be warm and smiling like I did when you greeted me with the same arms that welcomed me back home.
