Come home

Surprise me when you finally get home.
Kiss me, sweep me off my feet,
Don't knock, you have a key
Let yourself in while my music is loud and my back turned
Hug me from behind and twirl me around the kitchen
Tell me then "love I'm here to stay"
And fill my heart with relief, joy and love.
Its been seven years of short hellos and long goodbyes
Over oceans, and across the land
I've stayed here.
Maybe we both got a little lost for a time
Floating in a circle always back to each other for twelve years now
Some how even far away for so long
We are so close now
And the goodbyes grow harder, the hellos sweeter but sadder still
But don't tell me when you're on your way
Let the first page of the new chapter
Be as much a shock as everyone wants their engagement to be
Surprise me and tell me that there's no more teary goodbyes

A romantic movie plot for Hallmark that would have an audience teary-eyed.

I liked how it unfolded and the hope it held.

[Kasey Miriam]

the whole movie is a hallmark romcom but I really hope it can have a happy end soon

I hate goodbyes too. I do like the hello. I understand the poem. I was a soldier for 15 years and the goodbyes, never easy. Thank you Kasey for sharing the amazing poetry.

long distance relationships are so hard...too many goodbyes and the hellos never seem to last.
but we can hope that one day....the hello is permanent...the goodbye not until death do us part.

Hopefully soon. The whole military thing is for the birds. And I'm constantly worried sick. yesterday was the second shooting hes been through in 3 years. And hes never been in an active battle zone. Shouldn't be something to actually need to worry about. this world is a mess

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, it is a terrible mess...of mass shootings...crazy world, getting crazier.
I pray he comes home for good...Intact...
