I never thought the day would come <br />That I would find me hiding from <br />The one I love above the rest <br />The one who always loved me best; <br /> <br />But time has brought me to this place <br />I want no one within my space <br />At least for just a little while <br />Although I dearly miss your smile, <br /> <br />I find I've lost the energy <br />To spend the nights with you and me <br />Consumed within our lengthy chats <br />'Bout Aries rams and Leo cats; <br /> <br />Too many tasks upon my plate <br />Leave little time to appreciate <br />All the things you mean to me <br />My soul is screaming 'set me free'! <br /> <br />I hope this is a fleeting thing <br />I really miss my cell phone ring <br />And email doesn't do the job <br />Just as deficient as my 'bob' <br /> <br />So please be patient while I breathe <br />Don't let my absence make you seethe <br />For absence makes the heartstrings grow <br />And I'll be back before you know.<br /><br />Linda Ori<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/time-out-5/
