Today, I Guess
Today, I Guess
I stood in the shower, ‘til the water turned cold,
felt like a tough day was about to unfold.
On the edge of the bed, I sighed and got dressed,
I’m gonna’ really miss someone today, I guess.
The pot of coffee I made was a little too strong,
I lost count of the scoops, and perked it too long.
Like a wet, heavy blanket, you can’t throw aside,
the last page of our fairy-tale, storybook lied.
The bill must’ve arrived for past sins I must pay,
I guess I just really miss someone today.
Picked up the newspaper, again and again,
I’m seeing the words but I don’t comprehend.
All my thoughts and my focus, just seem to digress,
I just really miss someone today, I guess.
The sun may be shining, but my skies are grey,
I want the hot sun to burn these dark clouds away.
Like eyes on a painting, I’m staring so far away,
I guess I just really miss someone today.
The unscathed proclaim, that time heals all wounds,
still I’m haunted by flashes from a warm afternoon.
Perhaps more time is needed, but nevertheless,
I just really miss someone today, I guess.
Feels like my ship's docked in Melancholy Bay,
I guess I just really miss someone today.
My spirits always pick up upon her arrival,
her loving smile is essential, to my soul’s survival.
Before falling asleep I whisper, “Darling, I had a bad day”,
she says, “I know you did honey, I had one yesterday”.
We get up every morning with great loss to address,
that’s what happens when you really miss someone, I guess.
The sun may be shining, but my skies are grey,
I guess I just really miss someone today.
