Real Room

I miss the way you make brews too weak,
Served up with endless biscuits,
I miss the way the room goes quiet,
When we howl with childish laughter,

I miss stealing words,
Between cries of our children,
Time standing still,
As we ramble through weeks again,
I miss lifting each other up,
Plotting schemes for the future,

'Thank goodness for videocalling'
I say it, it's true,
But oh, how I long to share a real room with you,

Free therapy,

The best that we knew,

Toys strewn, tea brewed, souls-filled, 

Renewed, 

Real room,

An hour,

20 minutes,
10 minutes 
Would do.

It's getting really tough now isn't it for us social creatures. Hope you are reunited before too long.

Pain is hidden behind every word: the pain of longing. Well done!

I haven't seen my fiance in about a year. We live on the phone. I breathe painful longing at times.
