ValYou.

I fell into
deep dark
sleep;
Another night
without you.
I guess that's
okay--
it only
makes me
treasure you
more,
like the last green
of a yellowing
world.
Tomorrow maybe
I'll see that face
that makes
spring buds
sprout anew.

  5. Ah, I read this and felt sad, but only because my partner is missing this evening, so I got a personal response to your words.

    I love the witty title.
