I had not seen you in what seemed like forever  but was really

I had not seen you in what seemed like forever 
but was really only a short while 
Your arms stretched out to greet me, arms ending never
almost as wide as your arms was your smile
And you'll always brighten mine

It felt like returning  home inside your embrace
I was still short and you were still too tall
My head close to your chest I could not see your face
Rocking back and forth,  if only I could stall
To keep your heart close to mine

We talk about my school and yours, trying to small talk 
But it would be fine  just sitting together
We both know it won't last and soon, away you walk
I hope you know I would wait through all weather
If only to call you mine
