Another June Flower
June has come again
Way too soon
No matter how many years
There's still fragments
There are still fumes
I consume and they take me to much simpler times
When you were mine in flesh and blood
Not just a flood of memories
Or a warm presence and some tingling
But right here next to me
Showing me the ropes
Building my hopes and dreams
Like you helped build all sorts of things
I know leaving wasn't your choice but that fact no longer comforts me when I need to hear your voice
I can't sit down with you by the creek
Or call you up to grab a bite to eat when I need to just speak my mind
Finding gifts for father's day is repetitive
It's flowers every year
I know you're in a better place
But it still feels unfair to me
That you were here then stripped from me
Before I could blink
I'm guilty of letting June make me sour
I ponder until I rot on thoughts of Heaven having visiting hours
I would just love to see you again
And bring you something different besides flowers
