Florence Nightingale

We’re always worlds apart

But there’s a tiny space in my heart

Which waits every single day

For you to come back and say

“Let’s drink wine & watch the ducks”

As the sky turns pink

And purple

And it’s dark in a blink

Laughing at our misery

Like you never left

Like it hasn’t been six years

We forget about the rest

My god, am I a fool?

My whole body sets on fire

When you look into my eyes

With the same damn desire

You were a whole life ago

And I promise myself… one last time

My dear Florence Nightingale
