If You Were Here
if you were here
i would tell you of this job
and the flat
and the life we are trying to build
we’d talk
about nothing in particular
and you would comment on your work
and how the people you work with
were peculiar
but they all came to your funeral
and loved you more –
more than you ever dared admit
they showed,
that you were truly missed
i would talk –
about me and how –
we are getting on
it seems so strange, not natural
now you are gone
