The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Proof

Holding this fragment of you in my fingers,
This tiny piece of evidence that has flown across an ocean,

Trying to find the big ringing words to describe what I feel
When I see the touches of grey at your temples

But the only coherent thought to emerge is 
That seeing your face is just like coming home.
