your courtyard
i sat in your courtyard until evening
my hands were shivering in my lap
i found it odd that you weren't
with me
did you miss me
like I missed you
it was cold outside, and all i could think about
was you
the birds were flying south
but i’ve been patiently waiting
in the south
for you
when you came home only a few hours later
i found myself laughing,
how odd were my thoughts
did you miss me
like I missed you
About this poem
missing your lover is something far more than words alone, sitting in the lonely courtyard waiting for more.
