Past Few Days

The past few days

Were as heated as a summer afternoon;

And the nights were chilly.

How did I find comfort?

Well, I looked for you silly!

I waited for the rain in droughts

And asked for a quilt in a snowfall;

And when I had no answer

For the barrenness of the earth;

Well, I stalled!

I held you closer in storms

And showed you the morning mist;

And I can do that all again

When we really meet;

Well, if only you insist!

The past few days are nothing

As compared to what awaits next;

And what we once had

Is enough to smile;

Well, if you ever check the facts!
