With nothing to hear but the beat of my heart.

My arms are bare and my body is cold

With no one to hug and no one to hold.

This separation has me split in two

The other half of me is inside of you.

So I lay here broken and watch the time

Until I can mark the calendar with another line.

Day by day just keeps dragging on

Each unaccompanied dusk brings another solitary dawn.

With each passing second I feel more alone

As I wait for the day that you return home.
