Why aren't you here today,

you've been away for too long.

I miss you, and wonder have i done something wrong?

You seemed to enjoy the time we spent together.

But now I sigh, you aren't around.

A tear streamed down because summer is practically gone.

I am a lonely creek, flooded with sadness.

My heart sinking to the dark murky depths.

The leaves will fall on me, the winter air will sweep over me.

The seasons will trickle by, as I wait.

But I am afraid,

Please do not forget me and return?

I don't want your face to fade, like a fish that escapes.

I'll be here another summer, looking for a you.

Patiently, I will wait many summers.

But if you decide never to come,

my waters will no longer be blue.

And if another comes to take your place

I hope she looks like you, that she swims like you,

and sits by me... like you.

But I know there is no one quiet like you,

sadness washes over me.

I know I am so very alone.

I wish you well

for I know you are forever gone.

I lie to myself,

Denial keeps me flowing, but deep inside

I know I will never enjoy your splashy laughter.

I still don't know what scared you away

I have always been sweet and tender to you.

And if you ever do come back,

I'll be here for you, to comfort you,

to let you be free.

But please do forgive me if my waters have turned

green, stagnant in you absence.

I'm sure life will come back to me upon your arrival.
