Your flowers planted last year, Dear,

Have bloomed this year in June,

With summer now near leaving,

Colder days are coming soon.

The mums that gave you great delight,

Are beautiful to see,

I only wish you could be here,

Enjoying them with me.

My days are long and lonely since,

You moved out of our home,

I struggle Dear, without you,

As I live my life alone.

I visit you with every chance,

But you don’t know I’m there,

Some days I sense, in heart and mind,

You know I’m there and care.

It doesn’t matter if you know,

And recognize my face,

For I am yours and you are mine,

Beside you is my place.  

 So even though, I stroll alone,

And walk among the flowers,

Just as before, you’re there with me,

To share my lonely hours.

Tomorrow, after breakfast Dear,

I’ll be there at your side,

If it is so, that you don’t know,

Still, in you love abides.
