Three Weeks

I've counted three weeks down
yet it feels forever still to go.
i expected to miss you but
never for it to hurt this bad.
I've crossed off the days
that passed since the last
time i saw you walk away.
it still hurts after three weeks.
I've busied myself with plans.
i can't stand to be alone
but events only go so long
and I'm back home missing you.
I've cried my eyes out with
worries, memories, doubts.
never good enough,
never say the right words.
I've wished for three weeks
i could be there with you.
i need you badly already
and it's only been three weeks.
