Fothering Day

This room aches for you

You know it does

I wrapped it in pink ribbon

Just for the fun

My time has flown for you

I saw it take flight

Clean outside my window

When you first stayed the night

My fog has cleared for you

You're wearing your smock

And I have my odd socks on

Is that enough?

My gaze softens for you

I think yours does too, and it's nice

The days feel longer when we're apart

I think that's a good sign, but it's trying

Coming to a "give way" sign

My tears are a give-away

Driving past your little house

By the railway lines

Whether it is night or daylight

You're still in your chair

Television up full volume

Like someone's there

My gaze softens for you

I thought yours did too, and it was nice

The days feel warmer now we're apart

And I think that's a good sign, but it's trying
