Saudade

I leave my heart to you when I go - off to heartless places and faceless people. I leave my heart to brave the daily grind of the day. I brave blank stares and blank hellos, conversations and facts, made empty and meaningless by the fact that I am far away from you. 

As the day goes on to what seems like an eternity, my mind travels to you and the fact that I am not there.
I would like to say to people that I should not be here. I am supposed to be somewhere else.

I should be with my heart before she grows up. 

As I make my way back to you my being screams haste.

I would like to say, "Drive fast, driver. Drive like you've never driven before. I need to go back to my heart and laughter quick."

I need to go back to my heart before she sleeps.

Because I know that when I get home I will be whole, with nothing more than a smile from her.

I, after the aftermath of the day, will be happy.

Wait for me dear, daddy's coming home.
