I Did Not Cry For You Today

I Did Not Cry For You Today

 

I did not cry for you today.

The pain, though changed,

has not gone away.

I recall your hands,

your smell,

I see your smile,

your face.

And most of all,

feel our deep embrace.

You speak, you whisper

as you did for years,

the question you asked

into my ear,

"Do you still love me?"

Tears answer you now

as my words did then

"Yes, Yes, Yes,"

Again and again.

I did not cry for you today

until right now-

wishing you had stayed.
