He was in my dream last night.

I touched his hair and his face and it all felt so real. I thought that he would be there when I woke up, but he wasn't. The only thing that was there was the sudden remembrance that he had been gone thirty days, and, despite his promises, I was still alone.

It was now day thirty without him. I thought that I would not last a day without him being near me, but I had somehow lasted thirty.

How long would it be until he came back?

I ached for him. I missed him. I loved him. When will he come back?
