SPRING 2017: FIRST DAY OF COLLEGE: YOU'RE NOT HERE!

I Remembered

I watched for your truck today. Then I remembered.

I looked at the empty spot where you would usually park. My heart sunk.

Your parking spot seemed so lonely. I clearly understood.

How lonely your parking spot must be? I know I can comprehend.

I watched for traces of you today. Then I remembered.
I still haven’t figured out how to deal with this tragedy. Doubtful I ever will.
Your loss was so heartbreaking. Pain lurks like a dagger through the spirit.
How pathetic my realm of inspiration? It begs for your presence.

I wanted to text you today. Then I remembered.

I still haven’t found anyone who understands my humor. Perhaps I never will.
Your absence so apparent. I live in the world surreal.
How pathetic my way of coping? Doubtful to ever learn that art.
