I Miss You Already

I'm leaving tomorrow after my second glorious day in the presence of Debbie Miller and driving to Chicago to meet my best friend from college. She is flying in from Colorado Springs and we are going to spend the entire weekend together. I am thrilled, but the mom in me still... misses them already.

I miss you already...

"I miss you already," I whisper goodnight

packing, and planning, for an incoming flight

I kiss them, and nuzzle their faces with care

Knowing the weekend will be one with flare!

"I miss you already," I murmur to them

treasuring faces like a precious gem.

I clean, prepare, about to take flight

Pushing off feelings of guilt with all of my might

"I miss you already," as I lay down to sleep

A memory with a friend, a weekend to keep

I love, I hug, I kiss, and treasure

every moment, precious, we spend together.

"I miss you already," as she boards on the plane

leaving, refreshed and finally sane

A moment between friends, refilling each one

parting, and returning after a weekend of fun
