Departure

The other day,
I saw you Larry;
A bird was chirping,
While I was there.
My feet was resting,
My heart was fallen;
I wrote three verses,
And then I left.

The other night,
You weren’t Larry;
The sky was darker,
I felt some pain.
My soul got heavy,
I breathed departure;
I bought some flowers,
I sensed farewell.
