I’ll Only Miss Her When I Think of Her
I'll only miss her
When I
think of her
And I'll
think of her
All the
time.
Likely I'll spend my days
Hearing
her turn a phrase
Things I
found hard to praise right now
Would
seem sublime …
The truth is
I'll only
miss her
When some
stranger laughs
‘cause
it's still her laugh
My heart
hears.
Maybe in time I guess
The
longing will grow the slightest bit less
And there will be moments, yes …
When it
disappears ...
I'll bet
I forget her completely …
In about
a hundred years.
