This Is How Much I Love You Poem by chris schwartz

When you leave,
I chain the lock on the door.
As soon as I hug you,
And say goodbye.
The hours pass
While you travel,
And I am with you,
Praying you will make it
To where you are going,
I start to unwind,
Only when I know,
You are settled
In your hotel.
I pour a drink
And watch the "Love Boat, "
Wishing you were here.
Then,
I rustle around,
Checking the locks on the doors again.
I watch a couple more episodes,
And look at the clock.
It is now two thirty.
You are sound asleep.
And I wish I were beside you.
This is how I survive,
When you are gone.
And this is how
Much,
I love you.
