The sun rose this morning and
raising my arms above my head
I arched my back
and stretched, like a cat,
from my nose
to my toes.
I smiled and greeted the day
and the first thing I
didn't do
like I always used to
was think of you.

I bathed
and primped, smoothed
here and fluffed there-
all those things us girls
need to do to be ready
for the day-
and not once did my touch
remind me of you...but
I still didn't eat breakfast,
it seems now that I
hardly ever do.

I made morning coffee break
with ease, good thing for me
I get paid to stay busy.

I planned errands for lunch,
and picked up a sandwich
on the run but ended up
saving it for later
I made myself too busy and
forgot to eat it, but that’s ok
it’s a little past two
and I am still not missing you.

The day started dying
like any day should
softly sifting into the
hues of the setting sun.
To win my battle with
thelovetoplaylovesongs dj's
on the drive home I smugly
put Rock'n'Roll on repeat one.

Sitting out on the lawn
in my new swing,
I treated myself to a salad
and was pleased to find that
it tasted good.

The whole day
I had mastered my missing you.
But as I climb under the covers
I find I managed only an alteration.
Every night my love
until we meet again
I will send you my goodnight's
just before amen.
