I reread your note after 3 minutes had passed

I sit on the couch and watch the news

I stand and stretch and look at the clock

3 hours are gone

dialing your number, but it just rings

left a message, i love you.

I get in my car and drive around town.

your boss says you left

your friends don’t know

my eyes start to water

I sit in traffic waiting to move

your note wrinkled in my hand

I visit the cemetery

rain overhead

your note now soggy and cannot be read.

I place it down on you now under the soil

3 months had dragged by

and I found you

I saw you on the news and across the highway

but today I found you

your note saying

“i’ll see you in a few”
