Almost Like You'Re There Poem by Tearsica Brooks

It's another Valentine's day
And yet again you have to be away
I set the table for two
There is no one else here
Just me without you
I put your picture across from me
So that we can have dinner together
Even if it is just pretend
My heart is breaking into so many tiny pieces
The tears are streaming
I almost can't remember your kisses
I've put on your favorite red dress
The one I wore for our first kiss
The same one I wore when I said yes
I light another candle
Think to myself, sometimes this is more than I can handle
I sit here alone afraid to think f you
Knowing your heart is also breaking in two
