It is a strange sort of time just now

Where we can see you from afar

But not at home, all cosy

Or in a coffee shop, or a car.

It's slowly started to affect me

All I want is to see family

Hug them, sip tea together

Laugh, cry, talk happily.

But yet another month goes by

And still keeping our distance

And attemping to be cheerful

Oh but with so much resistance.

I'd quite like to plan things

An adventure away, or two

But ofcourse that's farfetched

And so I remain a bit blue.

Blue and grey and gloomy

With not alot to look forward to

Yet I slowly pick myself up

And stick a smile on with glue.

If I stick that smile on long enough

The affect I'll soon begin to feel

And life around me will get better

As time will help me heal.

Before we know it we'll be hugging

Perhaps meeting people new

Shaking hands and high fiving

And kissing cheeks too.

I suppose that's something

Looking forward to the future

The possibilities will be endless

Chats away from a computer.

So today I shall focus on that

This is not for forever

And breathe in the fresh air

And take for granted I shall never.
