Wish I Could Quarantine With You

Maybe this is something we’ll tell our grandchildren about, pining for each other through an era of uncertainty and fear. It’s the longest time we’ll be apart, and we thought it would only last for a few months. Here we are, a scary span of time ahead of us, and no one could fill the hole in my life that you leave. I need the ocean to fill and the world to stop spinning so I can start the long walk into your arms. If I could I’d swim to you, I’d quarantine for years with you, I’d be locked into a room with only you and be as content as a woman can be. What I wouldn’t give to be beside you right now, your fingers through my hair, your breath on my ear, whispering that you love me. I miss you.
