For a time, you were the first person I’d tell
about things going well at work,
I’ll text you and say,
“Hey!”
(Details of accomplishment. This and that),
to which you’d reply,
“That’s great! I’m so proud of you. Let’s celebrate!
Dinner? I’ll fetch you from work. I’ll be on my way.”
“Babe, I did something great today.”
Now, I just I tell you in my mind
as tears trickle from my eyes
because now, you won’t even say, “Hi!”
Babe
