I must be strong - I tell myself I have be brave - I say to myself I will not cry - I scream at myself I can go on - I shake myself

To live without you is crippling. To sleep without you is saddening. To eat without you seems so depressing. To walk alone without you is maddening.

I'm so proud of what you're doing. I can scarcely imagine how you're feeling. The call back home is deafening. And so I stand here always waiting.

You're an inspiration and a wonder. You're the lightning before the thunder. A dazzling display of beauty and genius. A mesmerising enchantment for all of us.

I will not waiver while you're away. I will be stoic, but loving, and never in your way. I want you here with me, or I with you. But I can wait a little longer, and the distance I won't rue.
