I wonder about the hours
reaching into night.
I think about the full moon
and always hope you are nearby,
I can sense your shadow.
I went to a play last night.
it wasn’t yours to see.
I still looked for you
everywhere I could.
I knew where to find you,
and would only discover no one
in your place.
I drove along the highway in my life.
I went to our spot
hoping you might be there
knowing you wouldn’t be,
but I waited.
I woke this morning in tears.
I don’t know really
an answer,
how long may I drive holding on in tears.
I don’t want to anymore.
I am afraid of what I will do
when tears come no more.
