airplanes take him away again. nothing new to me. ever since we've gotten together, he's had to fly in and out of cities and timezones but never for more than a couple of days. this time it's going to be for almost 3 weeks. our first longest time apart after 2 years of seeing each other everyday.
we took it in stride as the day (today) got closer and closer. held hands more. argued less. yesterday, he gave up poker, coffee with his friends and jetskiing to sit on the couch all day. he also stayed up to watch The Pursuit of Happyness with me even if he had to pack. today, i played hooky and showed up at his house for breakfast and just to be with him to the very last minute. i'm thankful it's raining today. the rain is strangely comforting to me. i hope it rains everyday till he gets back.
but inevitably that time came when we found ourselves at the airport. me in the drivers seat and him gathering his things together to leave. somehow that one last parting kiss seems a little more poignant than it should be and i wait till he disappears into the crowd.
it's okay. in 2 weekends, i'll have my partner in crime back and things will be sunny again.
