I know that you have been sad
That you miss me
And being there without me
is hard
I’m sorry I don’t come to visit more
It’s just about finding time
But when I came to surprise you
The look on your face spoke a thousand words
The way you looked atop the staircase
The way you dropped your bags to hug me
The way you held me for so long
The way you cried when you had to leave early..
I remember how much I love you.
I asked you if it was really so bad here without me
You said “yes.”
And then I realised that you loved me too.
