I lie awake
alone
in our bed
nearly every night
trying so hard
not to picture you there
to think of your laugh
and your smile.
I wonder
if she really knows you
as well as she thinks.
She knows your smile.
I'm sure of that.
Does she know
how to coax it out
when you're feeling down?
You and I
used to end every letter
with a quote from a song
Your favorite one was
"I would walk a thousand miles"
But you also told me,
"When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin else"
I liked to tell you
"All my lovin'
I will send to you"
Now there's a lot of songs
That I can't listen to anymore.
Damn.
