on a beautiful day like today
sky sun rain clouds and your absence
i have no cares but my own
and yet
i seek you and yours
how can i give to you
how can my actions provide examples of love
how can i tell you i love you
without a word
without a poem
with whispered actions
setting the stage
for something great
to continue growing
between us

on a beautiful day like today
i am happy alone
but
i am happier knowing you
will return home
soon
