Poem
JUST HERE JUST NOW JUST THEN Just here, Just now, Just then Came a pandemic called Covid 19 For hearts in sorrow for loss and separation World panic and vicious desperation Never thought there’d be a time I would lose you, A time such as now, don’t know what to do. This is not how I imagined life would be... The thought of you right here, along beside me. I never thought that suddenly you would be a memory. As I now look at all the places you used to be, If time were kind enough to me that I could borrow, This is what I‘d ask for you, another tomorrow. Just here, just now, just then, Right here, right now, again, You with me, holding you, holding me, The way we were supposed to be, Let my heart beat again, my eyes behold again, Just now, just here, just then. Never thought a day would be, you are departed, so suddenly. This is not how the book I dared write was to read, The happy ending that belonged to us I believed, From the very moment we began, we would never have an end. I would never have allowed it, could never see, The day closing upon where you would normally be, If time were kind enough I would have my way, To just hold you one more day. Just now, Just here, Just then, Right here, right now, again, If I could hold you holding me, The way we were and used to be, Let my heart beat again somehow, The way it did then, again right now, Just a little more time to spend, Just now, just here, just then.
