a broken tradition

sigh!

i have been doing the same thing on this day, every year, for the past twenty years.

however, today i am not able to carry out that which already seems like tradition to me.

to be very honest, on some years it seemed more like a chore. on others, it was just another excuse to get in touch.

i never knew to appreciate those times. i never knew that it will be taken away from me.

i feel lost today.


Though you are not here
wherever I go or whatever I do
I see your face in my mind
and I miss you so
I miss telling you everything
I miss showing you things
I miss our eyes
secretly giving each other confidence
I miss your touch
I miss our excitement together
I miss everything we share
I don't like missing you
It is a very cold
and lonely feeling
I wish that you could be
with me right now
where the warmth of our love
would melt the winter snows
But since I can't be
with you right now
I will have to be content
just dreaming about
when we'll be together again
