A Poem: "4:45 p.m. from the Az. Desert"

Another poem arrived from my man. He has taken a couple of his sons to spring training baseball in Arizona. I think he misses me.

"Sun, 27 Mar 2005, 4:45 p.m. from the Az. Desert"

Missing you today brings back the almost forgotten ache
Of what seems so long ago
When being apart was the way we lived.
Missing you today leaves me feeling surprisingly sad
From a cause not apparent
As I see around me tanning tourists and sunny faces.
Missing you today sends my soul homeward
Ahead of my moping body
To envelope you tonight with warmth and love
And to bring you promise of a sweet reunion
In just two days time.
