So as I am cleaning out my storage room I come across the boxes of your things. Shards of a past life slicing my heart. I find your address book with your grandpa's obituary tucked inside. I see your handwriting and I sigh. I think fondly of your habit of leaving notes. You would always tell me that someday you would give me the best gift I had ever been given. Nora Jones starts to sing (as if on cue) Don't Miss You At All" As I sit and watch the snow Fallin' down I don't miss you at all I hear children playin' laughin' so loud I don't think of your smile So if you never come to me You'll stay a distant memory Out my window I see light doing dark Your dark eyes don't haunt me And then I wonder who I am Without the warm touch of your hand And then I wonder who I am Without the warm tough of your hand As I sit and watch the snow Fallin' down I don't miss you at all I don't miss you at all I don't miss you at all I doubt such irony has ever been put so well. Again I wonder why I did this. I knew better. People warned me. In one of the boxes I found your carhart jacket. I wore it to work today. The rest of your stuff went to goodwill I'm keeping the jacket, and no brokeback references are required. |
