One Day Apart

Just one day without you by my side,

And the silence creeps, like a rising tide.

Echoes in the hall, shadows on the wall,

Feeling every moment, wishing for your call.

The sun dips low, but it's not the same,

Without your laughter, this place feels so plain.

Cup of coffee cold, seat across is bare,

I trace my fingers, wishing you were there.

Memories play, like a sweet refrain,

A joke you once told, it still makes me smile,

But this empty room is a heavy chain,

Counting down the hours, oh, it feels like a mile.

Missing your touch, your warmth in the night,

Just one day apart, but it feels so infinite.

Underneath the stars, my heart calls your name,

Come back, my love, this loneliness is a game.

The moonlight glows, but it casts a pall,

Every whispered word is only a wall.

I watch the shadows dance, they laugh without glee,

Each heartbeat echoes, begging you to see.

Your smile, a beacon, guides me through the gloom,

I’m lost in this house, feels like a tomb.

Every clock's ticking, but where is the time?

Wishing for a moment where our stars align.

Missing your touch, your warmth in the night,

Just one day apart, but it feels so infinite.

Underneath the stars, my heart calls your name,

Come back, my love, this loneliness is a game.

And when you return, I'll hold you so tight,

Whisper all the words that I couldn’t tonight.

Oh, time will fade, like a passing storm,

Just the thought of you keeps my heart warm.

So while you're away, I'll keep you in dreams,

Every laugh, every touch, bursting at the seams.

Just one more night, then the distance will close,

In this house of shadows, it's you that I chose.
