Twinkling lights flicker with my heart.
Happiness, blink,
longing, blink.
Twinkle, twinkle, flicker...
It's just a day, but it feels like more and so much less.
I miss his little voice asking so many questions. His excitement. His awe and unconditional love. I miss his sweet little cheek against mine. I miss his breaths, the ones I've counted for so many years, to be sure they weren't too many nor too few; I can't hear them from so far away.
Family, friends, love, shiny packages all still here to fill the days, but my heart has felt absent without him here.
He'll be home soon. And we'll be together again. But until then -
Twinkle twinkle flicker flicker goes my heart.
