All In

It seems a long time to be far from you
Yet I know well enough that it is short.
That hardly matters though until I'm through
This period of waiting. At the airport
It may be so; but here, still far away,
I cannot yet internalize the fact
We'll be together soon. As yesterday
Fades into nothingness, my cataract
Grows stronger, and I cannot see the past;
The future's still uncertain, so I feel
As if this lonely lack of you will last
Until forever, while it is unreal
To think that yesterday we were as one
And will be when tomorrow has been done.
