Missed Calls and Broken Promises

It happens every time:
the buildup,
the excitement.

Months of seperation
turn instantly into
weeks of eagerness.

Soon, the day has come.
We are together once more,
if only for the moment.

We talk and we laugh,
making the most
of the short hours,
but all too soon it is
time for us to part.

My eyes shine,
the tears threatening
to spill over.

I long for one more
hug as I watch you
walking away.

You don't seem to
notice how much
I already miss you.

Our time now over,
we slip casually back
into our routine of
missed phone calls
and broken promises.
