3 Echoes of Absence: Waiting for October"?

In the wake of his departure, the days have stretched into an agonizing rhythm of longing and anticipation. Though we still exchange sporadic messages since his return to Sydney, each reply feels like an eternity in the making, leaving me adrift in a sea of uncertainty. There are moments when his response arrives swiftly, offering a glimmer of connection, but others pass in deafening silence, leaving me to ponder the depths of his absence.

The void he left behind is palpable, a constant reminder of his absence that weighs heavily on my heart. Nights are especially difficult, the quietude amplifying the ache of his absence as I yearn for his comforting embrace. How I long to disrupt his slumber with playful affection in the early hours, or to share in our morning ritual of sipping coffee while catching up on the day's news nestled together in bed.

Despite the vast expanse of time stretching before me until his return, I find solace in the simple act of waiting. October seems a distant horizon, yet I am determined to weather the days with unwavering patience and steadfast devotion. Though doubts may linger, I am resolute in my commitment to await his homecoming, knowing that our love will endure the trials of distance and time.
