come home to me
if you ever find yourself homesick for me,
know that I still remember the sound
of the keypad beeping by the front door.
don’t hesitate to come back, punch in the code
and walk through like you never left.
I remember your favorite foods,
what I used to cook for you,
what we ordered when neither of us felt like cooking.
I won’t ask you to explain.
I won’t acknowledge the absence of you
all these months or your sudden reappearance.
instead, I will ask what you’re in the mood for,
whether I should start cooking or just call it in.
don’t be afraid to come home to me.
I am still here.
I’ve been listening for those familiar beeps
since the day you walked out and didn’t come back in.
