Bona Fide … This!

It’s always perfection lying in your arms,

At the beginning of each of our trips, I say to myself I get these many days, hours, minutes, and seconds

Greedily, of course, longing for wishing for and wanting more 

Now my brain is in overdrive of the pirouettes of words of all the magic and memories 

The flight traveling is always ugh; it seems to drag on for what appears to be days 

Once my feet hit the ground 

Family and love surrounded days and nights,

There were monkeys and doombas, a tiny elephant perhaps disguised as a buffalo, mountains, and so much more 

Breathtaking views 

Exploration: who could ask for anything more 

Naturally, I will respond it’s me who can and will ask for more every step of the way

Back in the world, your days are my nights, my nights are your days, and it seems we have hopped on the roller coaster again.

The only thing that ever seems to make perfect sense is belonging in each other’s arms 

Hand in hand 

Soft, delicious kisses when you wake me from my sleep

Mr. Umair, my love, I ache for you in every single way

Leaving you in the airport was agony

I had already cried rivers, not wanting to leave you again 

Scared to turn around, what would I do? Cry more? 

Would it stop me in my tracks?? 

Listen up, for anyone who ever cared to listen 

I have lived a life entirely (mostly) on American soil

I never knew any other way 

But when the man who holds your heart is something like 8,000 freakishly annoying miles away

What do you do? 

What can you do? 

Wait for the moments that are yours together 

I have a few bona fide words for any asshat who ever endured time away from the person they love 

You can bona fide give it a try! 

With love, always Mrs. Umair 

these words as so many of them are coming directly to you from mushmellon central xoxo
