back for a moment...

I woke up this morning
  you were not here...

Time passed as I planted, weeded, watered
  you were not there..

I had lunch...it was not beans, greens and cornbread at The Cracker Barrel ,
or a spinich omelette at La Madalines, or apple blintzes at the IHOP.....with you
 because you are not here...

I cried myself to sleep...
   because you are not here.

I feel like an  alien in this place...
I don't belong here anymore.
..
  because you are not here.
