The park bench.

I saw you there, sitting on the park bench.
Your phone in hand, tightly in clench.
Your hair, long blonde running in the wind.
Hazel eyes and waist so thinned.
I pictured our conversations over and over in my head.
You smiled, you eyes a thousand words they said
I get tingles and i lose my words.
My feelings for you keeps coming in herds.
Your so beautiful. My heart pounding a mile a minute.
I want to say something but my nervousness wont dilute
Everything around me is fading out all I see is you.
I am gonna say hey i will do it.
My words come out terrible in my mind they don't fit.
I picture you kissing me and saying i love you.
I imagine you walking down the path saying I do.
I hear the loud puffs coming out of the exhaust of the bus
I knew if I didn't say something now this was a pointless fuss.
The buss approaches us you uncross your legs.
My faces shows me wanting you to stay it begs.
You get up and get on the bus, you wave goodbye
I realize you're gone for good. I let out my lonely sigh.
Goodbye love, my heart is full of sorrow that your gone
I sat on that park bench until dawn.
I waited to see if everything was going to be okay.
It wasn't okay. Nothing was okay. I love you!
I didn't even say goodbye. This was stupid like everything I do.
Then i figured it all out. This wasn't a park.
This wasn't a park at all . It was too dark.
I look around. Then it hit. You got on the bus but to never return.
You weren't really you that's why you looked stern.
You past away three years ago.
This is your grave not the bus. I guess I rep what I sow.
I didn't say goodbye and now your gone.
Oh but of you I am so fond.
So this is me saying my goodbyes for m beloved wife.
For the next time i see you will be at the end of my life.
