Anxious for you to arrive
Pacing around to kill time
Counting the hours, minutes, seconds
Plotting and planning my moves

Trying to relax my body
Meditating to release the stress
Occupying time with activities
Making sure all is just right

Arriving and coming straight to me
Holding me tight and not letting go
Talking quickly to relay all that has happened
Loving me endlessly to make up for lost time
