I love you. Where are you?

I love you. Where are you?
Where did you go?

A note on my calendar
met with emptiness
and no message tendered
to say you’d cancel this.

I love you. Where are you?
Where did you go?

As I watch the sun set
and I slowly drive home,
the silence you speak with
says more than you know.

I love you. Where are you?
Where did you go?

Tears warm my cheeks
as I face the confusion
Did you really forget me?
Do you want us to end?

I love you. Where are you?
Where did you go?

We’ve been planting this garden,
creating moments that bloom
your hands and my sunshine.
I can’t do this alone.

I love you. Where are you?
Where did you go?

I showed you my light
so you’d know where to land.
But this port remains empty
as the tides hit the sand.

I love you. Where are you?
Where did you go?
Wherever you’ve drifted,
you can always come home.
