Driving back from Dublin
A smile on her face
Yet with teary eyes
She contemplates
The conclusion of a perfect weekend
With her favorite person
Overflowed with fun and rest
As time ticked on, she watched
The miles between them grew
The school week reared its ugly head
While she fantasized of weekends that would ensue
That night, with a smile gleaming on her face,
She chatters on her phone
The voice coming out providing a virtual embrace
She prepares for bed
Reminiscing of her weekend trip
Sleep takes her hand and guides her
Through bittersweet dreams
