Be Where You Are

Today I leave for Las Vegas

I've packed

And she's re-packed knowing I've forgotten the essentials

I walk from the closet

Luggage in hand

Dropped by the front door

Scanning the apartment for my girl

She's got her eyes closed

Singing in the mirror with a hair brush

Belting out some tune

I smile and walk up behind her

Hands on hips

A silent scream and she jumps about a foot in the air

She spins in my arms

"I miss you already Ash"

"And I miss you more."

"Promise to call?"

"As soon as I land."

Sweet kisses

"Don't have too much fun without me"

A smile that's only for her

Connected at the hip she walks me to the door

"Love you."

"Forever"

"And always"

"I'm in love from afar. Baby girl I wanna be where you are"
