Missing You

Imagine working two months on a 9,000 piece jigsaw puzzle.

You finish the puzzle, except for one missing piece...

You're able to get the missing piece from the maker,

But it will be two weeks to get the piece…

For two weeks you always think about getting the piece.

You can function, complete the day's tasks,

But your inner thoughts are only about the piece.

It is the first thing you think about waking up,

And the last thing you think falling asleep.

If you're a dreamer, you find the piece in your dreams.

You dream the moment of getting the piece;

You dream the act of completing the puzzle.

You are the missing piece.

Missing you feels like an eternity.

At first the feeling was strong enough to show in my eyes.

A few days pass and it dulls to white-noise.

I can ignore it when necessary but it's always there.

Then finally the noise turns into anticipation.

Term draws near.

I bide time till we're together again.
