Absence Poem by Eli Chubin

Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
With you away, my mind does wander.
I didn’t realize that it would be
The worst thing that could happen to me.
I should’ve known it wouldn’t last,
But I’ll admit it happened fast.
You told me, but it was no use,

‘Cuz after that, all hell broke loose.
The times we had, I hope you know,
Were what I remember more than the woe.
I’ve tried to make it up to you,
But then you told me we were through.
I couldn’t think of what to say
To make it last just one more day.
I wish I had another chance,
To save what’s now an ex-romance.

Please, oh, please, just hear me out.
I will not scream or yell or shout.
Just let me tell you how I feel.
I swear to god that this is real.
There is no getting over us,
But we’ve one more thing to discuss:

Those times we had, did you suppose
What I felt during all of those?
