If I could I would call you today,
Wish you a happy thanksgiving and all,
comisserate with you about family,
how they're driving you crazy, and we'd say
something about next year, let's have the
holidays with our 'real' family,
the one we had discovered, or created,
we've just gotten blessed, we'd say.
"There's so much we don't have to say,"
you'd mention. I would know there was
something in your joy, that was making you
sit up straight, your eyes glowing with
that love they had in them. What I would hear
you say, was that we should only talk about
the things that we thought were the best of us,
the most important of us,
how good we were at being happy, we'd say.
There'd be not much to say about the future,
between you and I. Never was really, we were so
enamored by the present and the possibilities.
We'd know that the next time we had
time to sit with each other that we'd
laugh at all things silly, hug in the best way,
and learn something new, because we always do
when we're together with something to say.
I really wish you weren't the first thought
in my head this morning. Even the second or the
third, so that it wouldn't be so hard to pull
myself together to start the day.
A fourth so that I wouldn't have to cry
instead of calling you and wishing
you happy holidays. Still I'll hold on to these
times when the pain is just a little too near.
Because they're still a part of you and me,
and every second of you is the one thing
I'll never stop loving.
If I could talk to you today,
That's what I'd say.
I miss my angel.
