I have been sad since you left,
I still remember on your chin that cleft.
Everyday I look outside to see,
Whether you have come for me.
But all there is, is a big buzzing bee.
I still have your gift, the flower pot.
When I see it, I miss you a lot.
I still see if you’ve turned your back.
But that motion you really lack!
I see something outside now.
Maybe it is a cow
Is it a rat?
Or maybe a cat?
No, it’s you, you’ve come at last!
Now that I’ve seen you I forgot the past.
My life is no longer blue,
Something has come back into it and it’s you!
