so shall i
promise to miss you when
you’re miles away
so shall i weep and become
blue without
you
so shall i refuse comfort and
sink into a
depression a
year
long
positive that i’ve
hit upon the
worst of times
—–
or instead smile when i
hear your name
spoken
and laugh when i
remember our
adventures together
and sing as if your voice
was harmonizing with mine
again the way it
used to
and nod in
knowing
when someone praises
God for
dappled things
and dance in the rain
in the puddles
like a child
and watch in awe of the night
the stars shining bright
remembering when we counted meteors
and chewed
grass stems
and couldn’t care less
for those were the best
of times
—–
misery loves company
that’s
why i’m alone
but i’ll think of you
so shall i do
until you come home
