Are you trying your best

To make it back home to me?

Working and caffeinating,

Smoking and cursing,

Fidgeting

In a city

where you belonged

once upon a time?

Are you trying your best

To make it back home to me?

I needed you here

Last night, really

for the first time.

Needed your eyes,

Needed your voice,

Needed your weight,

On the empty side of the bed.

Are you doing your best

to make it back home to me?

The clouds tell me yes.

Smoke signals sailing up

from the Eastern horizon

I’m coming, I’m coming,

I’ll soon be there.
