Poem for Jordan

Poem for Jordan

With a laugh I couldn’t resist
You drew me close to you
When you smiled it made me smile too
You drew me close to you

Down a long blissful path of love,
I followed you.
The destination wasn’t even important
As long as I walked beside you

Yes, there were hills and rocks and caves
That got in our way
And forks in our paths
Where we got separated
But only for the blink of an eye

Slowly, though the times would grow longer
And more frequent in between
Each time I would miss you more

On this went until a final branch
Where our paths disentangled...forever
The treetops closed and light went dark
I couldn’t go on, I sat down to cry
And a river of tears became a lake
What had I done to deserve this?

On that question remained
Until I figured out the truth
It was then the teardrops stopped
It was you, not I, who blew the deal

You, with your cherry grin of lies
You, with your non-existent surprise,
No, you see, I was always right
YOU are the one who will be missing out on ME tonight.
