Today is a ‘snuggling’ day
Cold rain is falling, a bitter wind is blowing
But I am in the warm.
My yesterday was full of you. My yesterday was happiness, complete
And leaving you left me with two opposite feelings
Such joy at being with you, making you smile
But such sadness at leaving and the time apart till I see you again.
And today is ‘snuggling day’
Alone and feeling so singular, so empty I look back at that day, it passed so fast
Don’t they always?
And how can I feel so sad now? Why do I feel so bereft here now?
Laying back and reading words, just words from a book
They pass in front of my eyes but none sink in
My mind just wanders
Back to sea spray on a cold beach
Back to talking as a pale sun struggled through grey clouds over the sea
The call of wild geese, wind blowing your hair
And wondering if I was being what you want
That is so hard but I just try to be me
But today is a ‘snuggling’ day
And I wish I was spending it, not alone
Not so uncertain
But with you. Because today Is a ‘snuggling’ day.
