conversations that last into the middle of the night
long goodbyes
the absent smile that plays over my face every single time i hear your voice
and everything in between

the songs we sing to each other
the random anecdotes
even the stupid jokes
and this feeling like magic that i can't explain

you make me light up inside
like the Christmas tree in Times Square
my day starts when you say good morning
and ends when you say good night

im constantly consumed with wanting you near me
does that even make sense?
i just can't help thinking -

this could be the start of something amazing.

"long goodbyes"
