If you leave me. by Don Yarber © March 22, 2014
What will I do if you leave me?
I won't grieve too much because
it will take time away from remembering
the love we had, the times we spent together.
I won't laugh too much. Life will be a little harder
and I won't feel like laughing near as much.
I won't eat too much. How could I enjoy the meals
we shared when you are not here?
I won't drink too much. Just a glass of wine like we used to.
I won't play too much. The fun things I do now will not be as fun
as they were when I knew that you'd be waiting
when I came home, tired and hungry after playing golf.
Yet there is just one thing that I will do too much.
I will miss you. I will miss you way too much.
