Each day brings us nearer—
    not just to a date on the calendar,
    but to the space between words…

    where understanding lives.

The hours count down—
    pulling closer
    like a magnet.

But it’s not wasted time,
    these moments we share
    they continue to build.

It’s every message,
    every pause,
    every shared thought…

    bridging the gap between here and there.

I don’t know the destination—
                             not yet.

But I know the direction,
    and I know this:
                    closer feels right.

Each conversation,
    a step forward.

Each shared silence,
    a thread tighter.

The pull is quiet but steady—
    a whisper that says:
                        keep going,
                        keep reaching.

Closer to her—
    it’s where I want to be.
