A poem

I thought of you today.

The pain was sharp and deep

          and I couldn't stop my tears.

I thought of you today.

I drank some wine

          and tried to numb my soul.

I thought of you today.

There was a father

          holding the hand of a small child.

I thought of you today.

There was a man biking in the country

          with a smile on his face.

I thought of you today.

The pain was dull

          and my heart was full of longing.

I thought of you today.

There were children on the beach

          and the ocean washed my toes.

I thought of you today.

The sunlight streamed through my window

          and warmed the bed.

I thought of you today.

I heard a song on the radio

          that you used to sing.

I thought of you today.

There was a rainbow in the sky

          and the colours danced.

I thought of you today.

And wept.
