"YOU WALKED WITH ME TODAY"
by Joanne Boyle

I thought of you today.

That was nothing new.

I will think of you tomorrow,

and the next day too.

I looked for you today,

as soon as I awoke.

Then my heart reminded me

why it was now broke.

I cried for you today.

I caught my tears in a cup.

I couldn't bare to empty them

so many are now full up.

I walked with you today,

though I couldn't see you there.

But I have now come to accept,

you go with me everywhere.

I shouted at you today.

I asked why you left me here.

Another cup awaited

to catch another tear.

You smiled at me today.

In a memory that I found.

It caught me unaware,

and i fell to the ground.

I had another cup ready

but the tears never came.

Instead I sat with the memory

and you looked the same.

You walked with me today.

We revisited familiar places.

I said "hello," to people passing

with curiosity on their faces.

I said sorry to you today.

You never left me here at all.

You were still by my side.

Just waiting for my call.
