You came and got your stuff today
06/07/2005 11:06 p.m.

You came and got the last of your stuff today
Remnants of you all over the house
Gone

I vowed that if this didn’t work out
I wouldn’t grieve your loss again
Yet the tears come unbidden
And I can’t catch my breath

I don’t miss the tension
I don’t miss the conflict
I don’t miss the differences of opinion
I don’t miss the things you didn’t say
The things you said behind your eyes
And thought I didn’t notice

I miss your smile
I miss your touch at night
I miss my friend
I miss my lover
I miss all the places we’ll never go
And of course, growing old with you

You know your happiness is so important to me
I don’t want you to suffer from loneliness
Maybe she’ll be less encumbered by her challenges
Maybe she won’t have estranged children coming home
And you can have a fresh start
And you can live in bliss at last

I am currently Sad
I am listening to Your voice fade to black
