For Kevin, with love

Missing You

I stand here on a different shore,
looking out the window.

It's a different set of stars I see
than those that greet you
when the sun sees me.

A different language greets my ear
when I'm aching to hear your voice,
to see your face.
I wish you were here!

It hit just now,
as I gazed out at the sea.
There's half the world
'tween you and me.
And I miss you!
