I Missed You Today Poem by david lessard

I missed you today...you were not around,
to cheer me up, to make me laugh or frown;
you were somewhere else, possibly in space,
I missed your warming smile, and funny face.

I spent the day alone, immersed in rest,
the time passed slowly by, it was not a pest;
the leisure hours were nice, a loaf of welcomed joy,
no clock to 'beat', no errands to run, no hurried ploy.

I kept my distance from you, didn't bother you at all,
you were so much engrossed, you didn't see me fall;
I fell out of love somewhat, can't really tell you why,
you weren't to be bothered, with me, an ordinary guy.

The days became more frequent, what made you go away?
we used to share such happinesss, when did it cease to stay?
when did the nights become so dark, and days so short of light?
we used to do things together, we never used to yell or fight.

I missed you today, and perhaps I will tommorow,
I missed the love that came to me, not this bag of sorrow;
you were not around, to keep the home fires burning,
I never liked to be alone, but now, I feel, I'm learning.
