I THOUGHT OF YOU

I THOUGHT OF YOU

I thought of you today.

It was morning,

and the sun had just come up.

I could feel its gentle rays shining through the window

as the birds greeted the dawn and each other.

Off to a perfect start!

Yet –

something

somewhere

wasn't right.

I rolled over to tell you how I felt,

and remembered

with pain

that you had left.

The sun offered to turn pure gold for me,

and the birds sang their most delicately musical song for me.

The flowers I bought last week and planted outside

bowed and waved to me, trying to make me smile.

And yet,

in spite of all

the gaiety,

I thought of you today

and wept.



Most of us have had a relationship (or two) that have broken up, leaving us feeling sad. This was written with that in mind, and is part of Love, Feelings, and the Seasons of Life, which is looking for a permanent home.
