Remembrance

Taken

I used to scratch your beard
Now all I scratch is glass.
Today it’s been a year
Still seems no time has passed.
Every day I tell you but
You can’t hear, I know.
I miss you so.

When I washed the dishes
You’d come up from behind.
Put your arms around me
“There’s work” I would remind.
You said you didn’t care and
You wouldn’t let me go.
I miss you so.

I made myself a promise
Almost a year ago today.
I would come to see you
And I would not delay.
I’d give you back the red rose
Taken not long ago.
I miss you so.

I’ve yet to come and see you
The day’s only begun.
I want to see you in the light
In the full morning sun.
Then maybe you’ll see me
Then maybe you’ll know.
I’ve made it a year without you

But I still miss you so.
