How I Missed You

Half past April, still no sign
What were you waiting for?
To surprise me?  To remind me?
To fill us with gratitude?
My oh my, how I missed you.

In our frozen rotation
We grew closer, yes we knew
The darkest of places, where
Only our faith could pull us through.
My oh my, how I missed you.

That first day of spring, please bring it with you,
In your suitcase of sunshine and shimmering skies,
We’ll unpack together and watch the sunrise,
 We’ve come to the end of the way I missed you.

I left the doors open, 
To our blue wave garden of trust,
The end of our winter has only begun
Welcome, we made it, but only just.
My oh my, how I missed you.
