Go on and go
I won't miss
your cigarettes
and smoke
your clothes
left laying
and dirt
on the floor
No whiskers
stuck to the sink
or coffee rings
by your chair

Don't worry
about me
I'm a big girl
I'll do just fine
all on my own

So what if
it doesn't feel
like home
and there is
no one to
share nightfall
on the porch
or kiss me
goodnight
Who cares if
I make a pot
of coffee for one

I hope you have fun
on your Harley
without me
and my girls
pressed to your back
I hope you see
all our old places
and think of me
Each morning
when you wake up
I hope you miss your cup
of coffee in bed

So go on with you
don't look back
you have only two weeks
and I can go next time
Ride safe and Godspeed
you back home to me
and my empty arms

You wrote your heart out in this one. It is there, touchingly, for all to see.

I do love this, dear Lori, you may not miss a few minor things about him, but your heart and soul are with him and those minor things have no chance to overcome the deep longing.

Love is also let him have some freedom ... no doubt.

Very nice write.

Thanks Margherita! He has been going to Sturgis for over 30 years, who am I to stop him? I get torn every year because my daughters birthday falls then and we always have to leave early so I can get back in time to go to work when school starts. This year is sweet 16 and I'm staying home.
