away:

She is the thought behind the feeling and swelling in my chest. My heart is so full of her, I can hardly call it mine. With her being gone I feel this all intensify. I remind myself this distance shall not remain, that she will not be gone forever. Though she is so very far off, and has been for so long, my imagination puts her hands around my skin and I feel a comforting sense of warmth. I remind myself that our souls are woven as one, in that way, I'm always with her.

reconnection:

I married her with my eyes and soul the night we reconciled. I married her with my heart and future dreams. With that first look, it was as if space and time became the finest point imaginable, as if time collapsed into one tiny speck and exploded at the speed of light. Because I was seeing her as if it were the first time, falling in love with her over again.
