I Think of You

1-6-23

A winters day, though the sun is warm
My mind insists this is not the norm
I try to remember all what I knew
It’s on days like this, I think of you

Who ever said, “time heals all wounds”
Never had pain, unexpectedly intrudes
When I feel pain, solitude, I withdrew
It’s on days like this, I think of you

Playing music, we were told too loud
Crammed in a room, the day I avowed
To put it away, hide it, maybe it’s untrue 
It’s on days like this, I think of you

Gassed up and ready, made your way out
Not the same road, you had to reroute
You got there in time, I’ll give it to you
It’s on days like this, I think of you

She is gorgeous and gentle, a Marilyn Monroe
She lit up every room, gave it a fine glow
Just because she is older, you haven’t a clue
It’s on days like this, I think of you

Was it yours to take, then leave on a shelf?
It was done in front of me, I saw it myself 
It took years to adjust, many, not a few
It’s on days like this, I think of you

No phone call, no visit, was it too hard?
You could have tried harder out of regard
My motivation and happiness, still overdue 
It’s on days like this, I think of you

Feelings you have when nothing is left
Taken away, it was the ultimate theft 
It changed my perspective, I will not pursue
It’s on days like this, I think of you 

Was I brought up in your circle of friends?
To find out the truth, on you that depends 
Is it a winters day there, warm, the sky blue
It’s on days like this, I think of you
